Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

All Classes:

• Today we kept our homebase/block 1 all day
• We watched "The Ultimate Gift"... this movie was a way for Mrs. Hylton to tie in her novel her classes just finished reading
• All classes were expected to turn in their current events in the morning. Announcements were made in all the classrooms for students to do so.
• The same rule applies as usual... if a student did not hand in their current event today, they can still hand it in for full credit on Jan. 3rd as long as two articles are completed.

I hope everyone has a safe holiday break and come back in January refreshed.
