Week of February 7

Hello Everyone,

This week, Sophomores will be finishing Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun."  In addition, we will be completing journal entries, discussing relevant themes, and having our final test on Friday.  Next week, we will be in the computer lab completing an MCAS-like essay prompt for the play.  Students will receive the entire packet upon completion of the play.  Please look for it in your child's school belongings.

Freshmen finished reading Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet" today after completing their Act IV quiz.  A quiz on Act V will follow on Wednesday.  Our final test will be on Friday.  Students will also be completing a project on the play next week.

Let's hope for no more snow days!
