4th term and counting

This is the plan for the week!
Tuesday - students received a 'packet' of work to complete for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They will be working on it each day.

Students in periods 1-5 have a book report due on April 5th. Their book should deal with diversity, tolerance, or WWII era events. Talk to your students about their book choices.

Period 7 is reading The Hiding Place and discussing the life of Corrie ten Boom.

All classes were given an assignment to complete a 'personality bag' that is due on March 26. They all have instructions for the 'bag' and I demonstrated how to do one in class.

Contact me at the school if you have any questions. Mrs. D
