Welcome to the 2nd trimester!

I encourage everyone to review the syllabus to familiarize themselves with the curriculum for this trimester. Also review the late work practice as it does change after mid-term.

Monday finds us analyzing political cartoons and writing a brief response to the material. We have a modified schedule on Tuesday and will have a variety of educational activities to choose from in class. The afternoon looks exciting with the entire school participating in PBIS activities.

NO HOMEWORK THIS WEEK!
Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving Break.

Due to the trip to the high school and numerous children out of class, the quiz that was scheduled for this week has been canceled.
