Today we had small, but delightful, classes.
You submitted your homework: a short summary of 20 pages of KB as well as five questions for Mr. Mathabane.
You completed an SAT QOD and wrote a vocabulary paragraph with the following words: extravagant, rebuke, devour, equivocal, and valiant.
We then continued our TAKS review.
Finally, we discussed Mr. Mathabane's visit. I have randomly chosen the following people for the following slots:
Debbie Moran - manager
Meashell Crosby - greeter
Ariel Taylor, Diamond Wesley, Gabriel Collins, and Jasmine Furr - book signing
Ace Russell - introduction
Juan Segura, Ashley Coffey, Marasha Sias, Alicia Macedo, and Sade Hall - dinner
Homework? Read pages 123 - 166 of Kaffir Boy for Wednesday.
All for now! Thanks!
