Good afternoon! Students will need to bring a novel of their choice to class on Tuesday. They will be reading their book choice to finish out the year. The students have also been working on their How-To Essays. Students chose an activity that they do well (baking a food, performing a lay-up, playing lacrosse,etc.) and had to explain how to perform the activity in a five paragraph essay. On June 6th and 7th, students will be presenting their topic to the class. Students should bring in all necessary materials to show us how to perform the task. Please see the notice that went home today.

Have a great weekend!
