LITERATURE & HISTORY March 25-29


Hello, Students!

I hope you have had a wonderful and restful Spring Break, and that you have stories to tell about your adventures and travels!  It will be good to see you again!

This is a short week, due to our Good Friday Holiday on Friday.  And on Thursday, we are gone from campus all day to visit the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum!  Remember to bring your permission slip with your $6 fee by this Wednesday morning.  We leave EARLY on Thursday morning--by 7:45.  So be sure you and your parents set your alarms and get to school early on Thursday!

This week, you will have no reading homework at all--not even your 30 minutes for your reading log.  You will spend this "homework" time studying for your upcoming History and Spelling tests, on Tuesday, April 2. And you will also be writing a Texas legend and working on that in the evenings.  You will need your flash drive to bring back and forth from home to school.

Your weekly assignments are linked below.  Your spelling words for next week follow.

Enjoy your last day of break!
