This week we celebrate Yom HaAtzmaut, continue with our study of adverbs, wrap-up our study of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and complete figurative language. Please be sure to complete reading When You Reach Me by Friday. We move on to Unit 14 in vocabulary and roots as well. Although we have but a few weeks remaining, we will be staying focused on learning. Keep track of your assignments, which you should have been doing all year, as teachers in all of your classes have been careful to balance the various due dates and testing that remain through the end of school.
PLEASE CHECK AT HOME FOR ANY BOOKS YOU HAVE BORROWED THIS YEAR. I am still missing a few.
