HOMEWORK:
ENGLISH:
1. Lit Circle #3 takes place on Wednesday: the task is to trick out your locker. Remember: it's a metaphorical locker, so the items you include should not appear in a literal sense in the novel. E.g., if the character is always playing with a rubber ball, I don't want to see that in the locker. More like, if the character is always thinking about his mom who is away on a business trip, maybe there is a photo of her in the locker.
2. Passion Project: next Thursday is our next session. Make sure you have materials/work to do for that time.
MATH:
1. Math bonus is up and running
2. The unit conversion paper handed out today is due Monday. There will be a quiz on this topic on Monday.
