Reto del dia de Acción de Gracias

To earn a pack of Frunas you just need to read the story we read in class to a family member during break and have them sign the sheet given to you in class.  Remember to erase any word that you think you now know because of the context of the story.  I would also suggest that you practice reading it first.  You might want to try to read it along with me using this video.

You should add the last vocabulary and place it in alphabetical order so you can find words easily.
