Monday, June 14-Penultimate Class: a couple of MAD LIBS

In the United States, Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress.

This is our penultimate class. What does that word mean?

As I shared with you, I am not in school today. Ms. Cooley will take over. Below you will find a couple of MAD LIBS.  As a class, see what you can do with them. You can put your responses into the that. You are encouraged to be creative!

Lots and lots of work was received by midnight on Friday. These addtions will soon be tallied.
