@@@@SPELLING ACTIVITY J + FLASHCARDS--DUE:
Today I walked around the classroom and check that the activity was completed and graded the FLASHCARDS! If you did not have your flashcards completed, you will need to show them to me tomorrow.
@@@@I CAN'T BELIEVE...EDIT & ANSWERS--DUE TOMORROW:
Priority #1 is for those of you not done with the novel to READ!
Priority #2 is for those of you who have not completed the RC test for this novel to DO IT!
Then...the next thing to work on is this worksheet printed on GREEN PAPER where you have three sections of editing practice. You should try to have ONE SECTION completed by when you show up to class tomorrow. You will have class time to finish up the other two sections. If you get completely dome with this editing practice before tomorrow...bring something to work on tomorrow.
