This Week

I am trying to "catch up" on the work that students did when I was out because my daughter was in ICU. We need to go over Chapters 1 & 2 of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Weekly Essentials 4. I really appreciate your understanding and patience.

Students were supposed to present Book Talks today but we are moving them to Thursday and Friday.

Students will also have a test Friday on Vocabulary. (Disposition, Defiance, Disregard, Distort, Disintegrate, Discretion, Deplete, Disperse)
