First and sixth periods created the rules for the classroom.
Below are the notes from the classwork/group work. We’re working this first week to create a positive atmosphere and practice some of the skills we will be using all year.
Second and fourth periods worked on verbs, including the distinction between transitive and intransitive, action and linking.
During flex time, we began SSR, going over the Reader’s Journals we’ll be keeping. Our first entry is as follows:
