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 ...
