Back to work.

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.
