Feb 7 2012 More Grammar Fun!

Great double block today everyone!

1. I checked the remainder of student's outlines for parent signatures. Only a few of you are left so make sure you get your parents to sign your yellow outlines to show tomorrow.

2. Intro - WORD OF THE DAY - for Feb 7. We added this to our Vocab - Word of the Day Section in our binders.

3. I reviewed the tabs that you will require for your binder by Monday.
* If you have one binder for all classes you will require an ENGLISH tab.
* If you have a binder for English you will instead need a NOTES tab

All binders will additionally require a
VOCAB Tab

WORD OF THE DAY Tab

NOVEL Tab

You should also have at least 2 extra tabs for other topics as we progress.

You will be marked on your binder organization each week so be sure to have your tabs ready for Monday and always keep your binder organized. I will always let you know what section to put work in during class.
