Answer the question below. Be sure to write in complete sentences with capital letters and punctuation. After you have responded you may choose another blog activity (Not Cool Math) to do.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why?

Marty and Grace

We are only 2 chapters into our class read aloud, Cryptid Hunters, but already we have learned a ton about the main characters, Marty and Grace O'Hara. Pick one of the adjectives you thought of to describe Marty or Grace and post below explaining why you think that is the best word. You need to use at least one example from the book to support your answer.

Example: I think the best word to describe Marty would be adventurous. The book described how he went to different camps for whitewater rafting, mountain climbing, and scuba diving which are all adventurous and exciting activities.

Welcome!!
