Last week was a busy week. The students took a vocabulary quiz on Monday and continued to read chapter 1 of OMM.  They used their focus questions and character and setting analysis chart to understand the plot, characters, and motivations in the novel.  On the 16th, they took their PSAT. Back in the classroom, they continued to read and made headway in chapter 2. There was an early dismissal last Friday, Oct. 18.

We will start the week of Oct. 21 with a vocabulary quiz.  We will continue to read and annotate OMM.
