Daily Language Practice

What is Daily Language Practice?
- Daily Language Practice is a warm up that focuses on grammar and vocabulary standard that aren't reached in our daily lessons. Students are tasked with correcting grammatical mistakes in sentences, identifying specific rules and practices through questions, and then finding the definitions and origins to word related to Greek and Latin Roots.
How often do you do Daily Language Practice?
- We complete DLPs on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
How is the Daily Language Practice organized?
- DLPs are organized in Units, based on our Greek and Latin Roots vocabulary. A unit has 4 DLPs in it. After 4 DLPs, the class will review their vocabulary and take a quiz. All of this is done in class.
How do I make up any missing Daily Language Practice?
- All DLPs can be found on the class Google Classroom in the Agenda Slides. This website will contain a timeline of the DLPs, but any physical copies can be found on the Google Classroom.

Weekly Class Read Aloud

What is the Weekly Class Read Aloud?
- On Thursdays and Fridays, each class will listen to a book on audio, and then write a 3 sentence summary based on what they have heard. The books are voted on as a class based on choices presented by Ms. Bardin.
- For each day, students will listen to ten minutes of their chosen story, and then write a three-sentence summary of what they heard. This is good listening comprehension practice, along with concise summary writing practice.
Can you make up a Read Aloud if you miss a day?
- Unfortunately you can't, as you need to be present in order to hear what happened in the book on that particular day. This is why Read Aloud grades fall under the Habits of Work and Character category of grading, as it does not affect your final grade.
