Sunny Monday

Students took their quizzes- both grammar (all nouns) and vocab (BIO, VIV, VIT words). Then, students peer edited the rough draft versions of their travel book reports and began to write the final draft of these reports. There will be no class time given to type these reports. If students choose to type their reports, they must do so at home. Tomorrow we will design travel book pages. Books must be bound and complete for travel book museum presentation on Thursday.
