6 Things

1. All students should be actively engaged in their reading of NIGHT and working on the novel questions.


2. All ATA Writing Contest submissions are DUE TOMORROW!!! This is a TEST GRADE!


3. Update your Goodreads and take this week's poll!


4. Cross your fingers that we don't get snow Thursday night.


5. Cross more fingers that the Yankees have a successful home opener tomorrow.


6. Cross all fingers and toes that this miserable weather leaves us ASAP.

That is all. Have a wonderful day!

-Ms. K.

UPDATE! UPDATE!

There's so much to talk about after the past week! All class periods should have started reading NIGHT by Elie Wiesel and completed questions based on their reading. PERIOD 5 and 6 should have read up to page 16 and PERIOD 9 should have read up to page 34. We will be finishing our viewing of the documentary "Forgiving Dr. Mengele" and discussing the notion of forgiveness as it relates to Eva Kor and our recent Holocaust speaker, Mr. Werner Reich.
