All about this week.


This week I wrote about the person on my left(was Leticia)I didn't like the layout to much neither the background color in her blog, also she didn't write to much.
I discovered the web of White House also the President Obama schedule, then I practiced the spelling words from Dr. Biden, and finally I changed my setting and worked in Autumn sentences.
The most useful vocabulary for me was Spelling City, I like it because is fun and words comes in different tenses, it was a busy week.
