Just brief notes about today. I'll give a fuller summary of the year next week.
This week's Quick Write options:
National Day of Prayer -- write about what you feel is the most pressing prayer need for our country.
Cinco de Mayo -- The 5th of May, -- write about what you know of Hispanic culture or your favorite Mexican food.
Star Wars Day -- "May the forth be with you." See this article for how this became Star Wars day.
Words of the Day:
trans -- Latin, across -- trans-Atlantic, transportation, transport, transition, trans-continental
tempo -- Latin, time -- tempo, temporarily, temporal, contemporary
ultra -- Latin, beyond -- ultrasound, ultrasonic, ultraviolet
In with the Homework that I handed back were two handouts from My GradeBook: missing reports, and current grade reports. Since next week is our last week, I'd like students to be able to get any missing homework in. If a student is missing any worksheets, he/she can find missing worksheets on Google Drive
Students have finished the Mastering the Comma Review, and are to take the Spring Grammar Test about commas at home this week.
After handing in their homework for this week, we settled into our Poetry Jam. When one team recited, the other teams judged. I didn't have time to enter all of the scores before the left for the day, so here are the results:
| First | Team 2 | 8.4357 |
| Second | Team 3 | 7.825 |
| Third | Team 1 | 7.6 |
| Fourth | Team 5 | 7.2 |
| Fifth | Team 4 | 7.1 |
Next week Team 2 and Team 3 will participate in the Poetry Jam Play-offs.
Next week we will also have a final exam in the form of a Jeopardy game. Students can bring snacks to share.
Assignments for Next Week
