I'm sorry that this is late but my wifi has been out all day and we just fixed it! These are mine and Maddey's sentences but we don't have Lauren's 3 because she was absent. These are as close to the original as possible but I don't have Maddey's sentences word for word because she wrote them on a different sheet of paper. Again sorry for the inconvenience with the whole wifi issue, I hope it's not too much of a hassle! Thank you and I will see you in class tomorrow!
