New Homework

The leaves are falling and the wind is cold. Fall has arrived in Madison! We worked very hard today and accomplished so much in just two hours. We started Side by Side, Book 2 (Chapter 1, pages 1 and 2). We toured the Department of Transportation website. We also practiced some of the Minimal Pairs for pronunciation practice. We reviewed homework activities and talked about colds and my ER visit. Here are some follow up activities and some new activities. Enjoy!
