Welcome back to school! Hopefully you're feeling rejuvenated by our holiday break and are ready to get back into your school schedule. You have mid-terms coming up soon so please start preparing for them soon!
This week we will try to finish all of the units we were working on before break. I will be transferred to different classes beginning on January 13th, so I want to be sure we have everything completed by then.
Honors English classes will work on vocabulary this week. Period 2 English will finish working with The Outsiders novel and film. Period 5 English will finish working with the short story "The Seventh Man" and will take a quiz on it. And Mythology classes will finish reading, and take a quiz on, "The Adventures of Odysseus."
