>> 4/2 TH- RUN FOR THE HEIGHTS (10:30 6th-8th graders)
>> 4/3 FR - BELATED END OF THE TRIMESTER ACTIVITY (movie)

PLEASE NOTE: The Reading Packet was intended to be extra credit or make up, but not mandatory. The Vocabulary Week 12 was photocopied and sent home as mandatory by the substitute for reasons I do not know. Vocab Week 12 was NOT written into any part of my sub instructions. Nonetheless, my many many apologies for the inconvenience, frustration or irritation it may have caused. Any vocab work completed will count as extra credit.
