5/8 English - 2nd Draft (Parent edit) due 12/19. Study Shurley worksheets for possible test on Thursday.
5/8 Lit - Reading log and journal, 12/17-12/23, will be due the Monday after break January 7. I sent an email concerning the reading over the break, but in case you missed that — here is what I said. Students are not required to read or journal over the break. However, if students want to read and build up roll over minutes they need only keep a log of their minutes and have their parents sign them. These extra minutes can be used to make up for minutes they may have missed so far this quarter. I’ve also decided to allow students to journal over the break also if they need to make up for missed journal entries.
