What is the morning ritual? What is its purpose?
Students had a substitute the past two days while my colleagues and I scored the ELA Assessments. Students should have read through chapter 8 by today. Took book quiz number 2 (they took the first yesterday), discussed some issues raised in the story and then continued reading.
