WELCOME TO SCHOOLNOTES for Mr. McCrimmon


  • During the second nine weeks we will be focusing on spelling.  Instead of vocabulary quizzes, you will be having spelling quizzes with the key words from each reading.
  • Comprehension quizzes will continue.
  • Two minute timed readings will be done as HW.  You will need the signature of your partner and your words per minute recorded on your paper. 

 

  • Study the vocabulary from The Minotaur.  Quiz on Monday 11/16 (period 5) and Tuesday 11/17 (period 2).
