Welcome

Welcome to 5th grade and my Language Arts class! We are going to read some fantastic books this year and do some interesting activities. If you don't like to read now, I hope you will by the time you leave 5th grade. Let's not forget about English and writing, too. We are going to be busy, busy, busy!
Your first blog mission: Tell me what your very favorite book is. Remember: Titles of books start with capital letters except for words like a, an, or, the, etc...
