Pronoun quiz retake: Yesterday's quiz grades were disappointing. I asked students how many of them began studying about three weeks ago when pronouns were first introduced. Very few hands went up. We had a discussion about how in sixth grade you cannot wait until the last minute to study for a test or quiz. Students should review everyday what they learned in class. An average of the two quiz grades will be entered in the gradebook.
