Your assignment for tomorrow (Monday) is to read Chapters 7 and 8 and write a question for each chapter that we can discuss during class. Your other assignments are below, along with your spelling words. You also have some History Homework, which I am including on this blog post so you wont have to look in two places. You will have time each day during the school day to work on this reading homework so that your evenings aren't too busy.
See you tomorrow!
