Tuesday 30th, Oct. & Thursday 1st, Nov.

On Tuesday 30th, Oct. we did our book report presentations. If you were absent, there is nothing to make up for that. However, you should have turned in your book report. On Thursday we held our current event discussion. If you were absent, you will need to turn in your current event packet as soon as possible. It is not really possible to make up the discussion; however, you should include a small write up in addition to your current event packet about your thoughts on the presidential election next week.

Thanks.
