“Wait, Ms. Grouch, I can fix it. It’s fixable,” blurted Felicia as she muttered another spell which turned her hair back to its normal color but put a purple streak in Ms. Grouch’s coiffure.  Jesse Jocose composed a limerick on the spot that he entitled “My New Friend, Fey” and sent it in a note to William Waggish who whispered it to Fey who tittered.

coiffure: Hair do

tittered: giggled

Group Project - Discuss Family/Personal Culture
What is culture?
What things or events are important for you and/or your family?
What are behaviors both important and seemingly trivial that you and/or your family does on a regular basis?
Examples range from religious practices to eating certain foods or at certain locations or times.
Discuss with parents and note down as many types of cultural behaviors that happen at a personal or family level as you can.
Document due Friday, January 6th.
