HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

HS 101:

• Ms. Wood talked today about New Year’s Resolutions.  Hopefully, you have all resolved to improve your study habits and do your best in all of your classes from here on out.

WARM-UP #16:

• “Everyone should do their best to help brothers and sisters.”

LITERATURE: 

• Extra Credit Projects for TKAM were due today.
• We reviewed TKAM. We didn’t get as far as I had hoped, so we’ll continue tomorrow where we left off and move the other assignment from today to tomorrow.

HOMEWORK: 

• Bring your Grammar and Composition Handbook to class for the rest of this week.
• Bring a pack of note-cards for the rest of the week.  You will need at least 30, but I would plan for 50 or more just in case.
