Vocabulary and Spelling Lesson 23

Homework:

If you were absent on Monday, April 30th, you need to complete this homework for Thursday, May 3rd, 2018.

Copy the Vocabulary and Spelling Words Lesson 23 in the corresponding notebook. Then, in the journal write a short story (half a page at least) with as many Vocabulary and Spelling words as possible. Make sure you underline the words that you use, and illustrate your work. :) Remember that if you don't have the notebooks with you, you can do the work on a piece of paper and then paste it in your notebooks.

Note: I know some of you have had problems logging into the Cambridge Online Program. I have received a mail confirming that there have been some errors. They don't say, however, what the problem is exactly. Please keep trying, I have already opened and reopened Unit 3 three times. I hope that helps. I will check upto Unit 6 by Friday. If you encounter any problems, take a picture of it and send it to me. Thank you.
