Lesson Comments
Sadie was absent. Devin is way behind on the reading. He has only read the first 20 pages. He missed two days of class during out last week of school before break. Apparently he did no reading during the break to catch up. I don't want it to be impossible for him to catch up and he's a somewhat slow reader, so I told him to start at page 40 and do his best to get up to page 80. I cut out pages 21 through 39 to make his life easier. I hope it works and I hope he can catch up.
