Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!

Beginning the Monday after Thanksgiving, the Sophomore Honors class will begin work on Paulo Coehlo's recent literary classic The Alchemist.

The C-1 Sophomore classes will be starting Macbeth.  Hopefully we will have enough books to go around.

Freshmen are in the middle of The Hobbit.

Have a great holiday,

Hello Everyone,

This week, the sophomores will be presenting their Kamishibai projects in class.  The final Beowulf test will be either this Friday or next Monday, depending on how many presentations we get through.

Freshmen started The Hobbit last Friday and will continue reading through chapter 5 by the end of the week. We will have a quiz on chapters 1-5 on Friday.

Thanks,

Mr. Hacker
