  • It must not be a book you are reading for another class.
  • It should not be a book you read before.
SSR Rules for In-Class Reading Time
  • If you leave your book at home, choose another book from my shelf for the day (you will not have time for a "date"--do not spend more than one minute selecting a book)
  • Stay in your seat
  • Do not do your homework
  • Do not talk
  • Do your best to read, un-distracted, for the whole time (5+ minutes)
  • Write in your SSR log when you finish (we will not start this this week)

Hello, friends! Please be nice to Mr. Murphy today and for the rest of the school year :) He will be handing back the following items - Some things I forgot to give some classes before Spring Recess - SSR Timelines and their attached Grading Checklists - MOST of your SSR logs * All of these grades appear in RealTime * If you have any questions, please e-mail me at ldesimone@bogotaboe.com (Remember that Mr. Murphy will most likely be using my e-mail address as well, so make sure I know the e-mail is for me!) You will be taking your Grammar Chapter 6 Quiz today. You may use Holt Handbook , your notebook, your notes sheet, and your homework packet. If I remember correctly, I did not check every page with every class. If you would like your work checked and it isn't checked, please speak to Mr. Murphy; I have sent him the answer key.  Please copy and paste this link into the browser of your Chromebook: https://goo.gl/forms/gogagbVbzEa5e2kk1 After ...
