Week of March 5-9

Monday: We had ROL and Caught 'Ya. Then we discussed coordinate and cumulative adjectives and when to use commas. Next we took a comprehension quiz on pages 23-69 (Chapters 5-15) of Crispin. After that we took the first vocabulary quiz on 10 words from the novel, Crispin. New pages to read are 69-100 (Chapters 16-21).

Tuesday: In class we had 15 minutes of SSR where you could either read Crispin or your own SSR book. After that we corrected the adjective worksheet on coordinate adjectives. Then we started filling in a chart on comparative and superlative adjectives. Next discussion questions were handed out, to be completed by next Thursday. They are over pages 69-100 (Chapters. 16-21) Finally, you had work time to complete some of these assignments.

Wednesday: We had ROL and Caught 'Ya. Then we took a trip to the library. After that we were able to review vocabulary words. Then there was work time to prepare for the quiz tomorrow over Crispin, Chapters 16-21.

Thursday: First, we took Crispin Quiz #3 over Chapters 16-21. The next assignment for reading is Chapters 22-31 and the quiz will be next Tuesday. Then we reviewed vocabulary. (This class was shorter because we also took the ACT Explore that day.)
