**PSSA Testing will end on Monday April 15^th with our last section.  We will resume our regular schedule on Tuesday April 16^th.

 

*Reading – We will begin our new story “Wings” which is a fantasy.  A fantasy is a story in which unbelievable things can happen.  Ikarus Jackson is the new boy at school, and he is a little different. Ikarus has wings. He has real wings that allow him to fly. But the other kids at school laugh and tease him. The adults Ikarus meets aren’t much kinder. Ikarus has a friend though. When she steps in and says, “Stop!” and “Your flying is beautiful,” he finds the heart to fly again. You can listen to our story at: http://pesfroghall.org/wings.mp3

I, he, she, and it are pronouns that take the place of one noun.  Plural pronouns are words that take the place of plural nouns or more than one noun. We and they are examples of pronouns that take the place of more than one noun. You can be used as a singular and plural pronoun.
