LITERATURE & HISTORY March 11-15



Hello, Students!

We have only this one week left in the third nine weeks of school!  If you have any make-up work to turn in, or spelling tests you're planning on retaking, those MUST be completed by this Wednesday, March 13.

Remember to get your last reading log for this 9 weeks turned in on Friday.  We will be finishing Old Yeller by the end of the week.  You will have only reading to do--no charts or questions, other than quizzes, like those we have been taking.

We'll finish Jamestown, study the Plymouth Colony and the Pilgrims, and have one day with the Salem Witch Trials before our spring break.  In Texas history, we'll try and do some catching up, since last week, we ran out of time.

We will be going to our park for a clean-up day on Friday.  I will need to have you bring in a permission slip, and will need another driver.  We'll be out there for about 2 hours, and our snack will be there.  We have Early Out on Friday at 11:45, with no lunch served.  However, Extended Care hours remain the same.  Remember to get your permission slip for the Bob Bullock Museum turned in with your $6 as soon as you can so that when we get back, you won't have to worry about it.

I hope that you and your families have a restful time over Spring Break.  If you are traveling, be safe, and learn something about where you are going--those of you leaving Texas and those of you staying here.

Links to our assignment chart  and the handouts for the week (if available) are below.  There will be no new spelling words this week--you'll get a new list when we get back from our break.
