Good Morning Rebels,
Did you all have a wonderful Weekend? I wonder what you all did. Today is an ‘A’ day so we will go to Music. We will also go to the computer lab to do our Lit Circle Discussion Online. We will then continue our research and take a quiz on chapter 10.
Please remember to order your lunch, sharpen your pencils, and then work on the Point to Ponder.
Thank you
Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.
