Mood:  a-ok
Now Playing: Week of April 5 - 9
Welcome back! I hope you had a great Spring Break! Now, we are here for a short week and then on to Easter Break!

Beginning today, we will begin reading a new novel, "From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler." We will be done with the novel on April 30.

We will read this book in class. Students will be given a booklet to complete while reading this novel. This booklet will be turned in for a grade.

We will complete a vocabulary worksheet for each chapter. These could be taken up for grades...so keep up with them!

We will get a weekly grade in one of the following ways:
-voc. wkst.
-quizzes
-booklet page(s)
Then, we will have one final big test on the novel.

An extra credit project has been assigned if students want to complete it - see the hand out - Students are to create a statue of an angel - due by April 30.
