Day #121 - 4/7/15 - Mod 2A Unit 2 Lesson #10: How does Bud use his rules to help him?

Good Morning Rebels, 

           I hope you all had a superb spring break. I wonder what you all did to have fun. I wonder how many of you spent at least 20 minutes reading every day.

          Today is a ‘B’ day so we will go to Gym. Please sharpen you pencils and order your lunch. Don’t forget to work hard, and make the most out of every minute! Please pick up an Ipad and answer today’s poll question. Last, work on the Point to Ponder. 

                            Thank you

                       Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.
