Day #107 - 3/6/15 - Mod 2A Unit 2 Lesson 2 Part II: If, by Kiplang & Chapter 14 of Bud, Not Buddy

Good Morning Rebels, 

          As you get ready for your day I want you to think about Rudyard Kipling’s poem and the rules to live by that he might be suggesting in his poem “If."  

          It is a ‘C' day today so we will go to Library and Technology.  Please order your lunch and sharpen your pencils.  Last pick up an Ipad and work on the Point to Ponder. 

                            Thank you

                       Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.
