We don't have our normal vocabulary routine this week, so there will be no quiz on Friday.

Friday is the end of the grading period, so any missing work you have needs to be turned into me by the end of the week. On Tuesday I handed out grade reports with missing assignments. See me if you have questions . . .

This week we're focusing on reading our novel, The Giver. Apart from that, we just have a few of the normal warm-up and grammar pages.

Next week is State Testing! We've been preparing for this over many weeks. At this point, just focus on the strategies we have talked about in class to be fresh and prepared. Test smarter, not harder!
