Here we go! How exciting to post our first Admission Ticket challenge for the 2009-2010 Essentials year! Each student who correctly answers the challenge will receive one ticket toward our Samaritan's Purse Christmas gift. To gain admittance to class for Week 1, students should look up the extremely common word very and come to class prepared to 1) identify its part of speech and 2) name at least four synonyms that could replace very in a sentence. I will post myself outside the classroom (sanctuary) door at 12:55 p.m. in order to begin admitting students! I can't wait to see their smiling faces!
