Another quote and idiom, and we’ll start up DOL again next week.

We spent a few minutes dealing with clarifying questions from the overnight reading (Chps 5 and 6).  Homework for Monday: Read Chps. 7-9 (finishes up the first section).

I mentioned today about a project that we will start up soon to create a study guide (rather than just use one) for the book we are reading right now.  I’ll be giving more details soon about the expectations and opportunities, as well as the tools we will use to accomplish this.

For the last half of class, we played a review game to practice and test our knowledge of the roots for the last three vocabulary units.  I think most students realized that they need to do a little more studying in this area.  Don’t forget: Vocab Quiz Unit 3 is next Tuesday. 

It appears that the school network is back up and running.  (I’m not positive as I am posting this from home) but at least some things are working.  I’ll be going in and getting caught up with some entering of grades (I couldn’t even get to my gradebook) and some email replies over the next couple days.

Hopefully Monday will be back to normal (well, as normal as a Monday CAN be…)

Have a great weekend!
