8th grade had a pizza party today! Why? At the very beginning of the school year there was a student who decided to write all of his vocabulary sentences about Mrs. Jakubowski throwing a pizza party. As the school year went on, more and more students also started to write their vocabulary sentences about having a pizza party. By the end of the year, all of 2nd period was writing about having a pizza party using 240 different vocabulary words that we have learned over this school year!
