Students were asked to read pages 33-37. Fourteen vocab words, the same as found on page 45 under key terms for section 3, were listed on the board. Their homework assignment was to write their definitions from their reading context. For those classes that met with me today we reviewed them but if for any reason they did not finish their assignment, they have another day since due to Pumpkin Chunkin we did not meet with all classes. There was no homework.

Leaf walks went well and we started our pressing process. We did a follow up exercise using our two column notes in class and while there was no homework for tonight, some students still need to spend a little more quality time completing their notes. Any books used for that assignment need to be brought back in by this Friday.
