The goal for this week is to finish the debates. Along with the debates, we will be starting vocab and grammar back up. I have posted the homework and quiz dates on my calendar. Today we were discussing roots, prefixes, and suffixes to determine the meaning of the unit 6 words. We did not even look at the books yet. We did a pretest for spelling and word knowledge. Then we discussed what they thought the words meant. Then I clarified the definitions for them.
I did not start grading the essays yet. I should have started them over the break, but it was a break. Now it is back to work, and I have lots to do.
