Hi grade fives!

What wonderful work you have done on 'If I Were Principal For a Day'!  Let's all try a little harder to remember the correct usage of "their", "there", and "they're".  Take a peek at BrainPOP for some grammar tips and a whole lot more!  This will be one of many valuable resources in your reading and writing travels.

Dear students,

As we continue to read 'Ten Marks and a Train Ticket', I encourage you to watch the video below, featuring interviews with authors Susy Goldstein, Gina Hamilton, Wendy Share, as well as Benno himself.
