Personal Narratives

Hello!  :-)

This week we begin looking at Personal Narratives.  I think you will enjoy this type of writing because...it's all about YOU!  This type of writing is always fun to write and especially enjoyable to read. 

Here are some links to help you learn more about personal narratives.

Types of Writing...

Hi!
This week we will continue our writing using the story Miss Nelson is Missing.  I have included a reading of this story below for you to enjoy and to help refresh your memory of the story.  Remember...we stopped reading the story mid-way.  Be good and only listen to the point where Miss Nelson has not yet returned.  We will continue our writing this week with a compare and contrast activity.  I wonder who will compare and contrast!  LOL
Have a great week!
Mrs. Murphy
