December 19 Journal

You only have today and Friday to work on your submissions so get going after you are done with your journal. I will be staying after school today until 4 pm in case anyone needs to come in and work- just be sure you have a ride arranged a head of time.


  1. Create a new family tradition for celebrating the holidays. Explain what would make this tradition so special to your family.

  2. Imagine that you are a pioneer living on the prairie. Describe what your life is like this time of year.
