Grammar:

From Mitzi:

Hi everyone, I’m enjoying your writing in our class. All of you really focused during that journaling exercise. Sean wrote over 160 words in those 7 minutes, but I think I’m going to have to ask questions about the video game he is playing. All of you wrote over 50 words which allows me to get to know you better. By the way, you ALL passed the Preposition Test. I thought you would. I helped students on about 3 of the sentences, but overall, they all completed the test themselves. We corrected another paragraph together today. I rushed through part of your homework assignment at the end of class. If you need additional help, please call me. Next week, we’ll go back to our Winston Grammar cards and maybe Bingo again just for review.
