  • On Thursday we got our paragraphs back. The paragraphs were about a topic we choose to write to our pen pals in Italy about.I wrote about the musical Oklahoma! we’re performing, but other topics were Easter, St.Patricks Day, CMT’s, and spring sports.

    • We also had to do a worksheet on complex sentences. A way we remember complex subordinating conjunctions are like this …

    3     3     2     2     1     1

     W     A     B     U     I     S

    while     after     because     until     if     since

    when     although     before     unless             

    whenever     as

    • Carma is what you do and keep on doing.
    • Krishna is a god with many forms. He is also very popular with the poor.
