The marking period grades are done. I already have some grades for the next MP.  When I get time, I will enter them.  I am looking forward to the next marking period.  It is a fresh start!

Homework
1,2:
Pictionaries, synonyms, choosing with context clues Unit 5

3,6,7:
None (except too many students did not hand in their essays!)

Today
1,2:
Began unit 5 words
Continued to watch plays to determine a winner.

3,6,7:
Warm-up (vocab review)
Checked who was finished essays and collected.
Began unit 5 words.  I tried something different in class today.  I had the students do the pictionaries to start learning the words.  Instead of talking at the students about the words, I had them wrestle with them a little and teach them to each other.
