First, second, and sixth periods are all ready to begin the year. We’ve gone over the critical classroom management issues, and we’ve established a positive class atmosphere. We’re ready to get started.

Fourth period completed adjectives — lickety-split — and began verbs. We should finish the short unit on the parts of speech sometime early next week.

Homework
