Today we reviewed verbs.  Students watched a short video clip and worked with their table mates to identify all of the actions (verbs) going on in the scene.  Then they took some notes about the basics of nouns and then they wrote three sentences to practice varying their verb choice.  

During Social Studies we played Bill of Rights charades.  The students who have already started reviewing the amendments made excellent guesses; however, I could see that many students need to get started with their studying.  Today I'll be sending home a study sheet and students should use the Bill of Rights Quizlet page to familiarize themselves with the first ten amendments.  If a student loses their study sheet, they can save or print the document from the academic links to the right.
