@@@@BOOK ORDERS--DUE TODAY:
Yep. I'll mail them in today.
@@@@WRITING FOLDER--DUE TODAY:
I passed writing folders out to everyone and we organized them to be graded. All of 2nd quarter's work was paper clipped.
@@@@SPELLING MID-TERM TEST--TOMORROW:
We talked though some ways you could study effectively for this test. One idea was to pick out the 20 hardest words and have someone quiz you on them while you write them out. Then, tomorrow morning, just review the words you missed out of those 20 hardest words. Seems simple!
@@@@NAMES/NOMBRES PAGE 4:
We read part of this short story aloud in call during the last 15 minutes of class. we will finish it tomorrow after the spelling test.

@@@@MID TERM SPELLING ACTIVITY--DUE AT THE END OF THE HOUR:
The focus for today's class is to finish and hand in the mid-term spelling activity. If you are already finished and hand it in at the beginning of the hour, you have the following options...
@@@@30 MINUTE WRITING NOTE--DUE MONDAY:
Today I was willing to let students write in class for 30 minutes and I would sign off in their planner for the 30 minutes of additional writing. Other students just opted to do the 30 minutes at home, like usual. I will check for those signatures this Monday! REMEMBER...doing your editing counts toward 30 minutes of writing.
@@@@WORD ART:
For those finished with the spelling activity at the beginning of the hour, one option was to do "word art" like a graphic artist on some sentence strips of paper I have in my room. This is just another way to work with the spelling words and help decorate the room.
@@@@SSR:
For those finished with the spelling activity at the beginning of the hour, one option was to read your library book.
