All English classes had Tier II Vocabulary words to fill out today.  These words are:
-Digress
-Epoch       
-Recoup
-Sacrilege
-Severance

There is a NEW Vocab sheet I want you to start using. All 5 words are on the same

page. This should help eliminate confusion as to which page you are on, and where I
should start grading things.

Spelling Words for week 10A:  All English classes
These are also to be filled out on the NEW sheets - which are on the back of the new Vocab sheets.  Write the word twice on the lines provided, then add a very short one word definition, which I will provide.  At the bottom, write last weeks vocab words again from 9B.
