Quizlet

So this week we will start Quizlet. Quizlet is what we use as our vocabulary practice. We use terms that we are learning in class, roots, and some new vocabulary terms each week. The test will be every Friday. I will give students time during class to practice, but I would recommend playing the quizlet games for about 10-15 minutes everyday. 

Happy studying!!

VIPS (Volunteers in Public Schools)
