Today we had the Units 3-5 Test. Good job, everyone! There is no homework for next week. 🙂

After that, we played a Present tense/Past tense dominos game and practiced some English tongue twisters:

• Sally sells seashells by the seashore.

• A big black bug bit a big black bear.

• Red leather, yellow leather, red leather, yellow leather.

• Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t fuzzy, was he?
