Tuesday, February 10th, 2015

This morning was the Parent Meeting for students "off-track" for graduation.  Those who attended received their children's report cards.  If your parent did not attend and did not contact the teachers, your report card was mailed with information on a followup meeting on Friday, February 20th at 8:15 am.

In Class:
Journal entry #10 or #11 depending on section:
    Determine the two most difficult words for you in your Sadlier Vocab lesson (1-10);  copy the sentence from the book inserting the word.  Create two sentences using two other words that you are becoming comfortable with.
The first ten vocabulary word "bubbles" or "charts" were checked.

We corrected our Grammar Tests and began writing corrections (5x each!)
We went over the correct answers for the Simple Solutions Test #12 -- corrections due Thursday.
We discussed Lesson #51 in SS.

In our Purple Common Core book, we began reading our first story, a Greek Myth.  We discussed citing evidence to support conclusions or inferences that we are making.

Origin Myths were collected.

Homework:
