Nate continues to LOVE reading Hardy Boys books. He is so excited about what he reads that he is in the process of writing his own mystery. He did a mind map/web to put his thoughts down. We went over the writing process and he began writing his book. He is using the computer to record his words (doing his own keyboarding). He did Spelling City and got 100% on his test. For Simply Grammar he did a noun and verb review. He did Daily Grams 4 - . He started memorizing a poem about the 8 parts of speech. Nate went to the library. He got a TLA webmail account and had so much fun emailing his cousin, Makenna, who lives in Abbotsford.
