There seems to be a "mini-epidemic" in the eighth grade this morning! Many students are absent, so I have decided to post the reading homework for the remainder of the week, as well a couple of reminders about tomorrow's field trip. First, the field trip ... remember that we must all bring a bag lunch and a drink to the museum, as well as a sketch book and a sharpened pencil. This will be an exciting adventure! Next, assignments for the week ... students should have finished reading Chapter 2 of The Once and Future King; they should read Chapter 3 for Wednesday's class. I distributed Guide Questions for Chapters 3 and 4 this morning; these should help students to find essential details in the text which will help with class discussion (and quizzes). Absentees will find these in their lockers. Also remember, eighth graders, that you had some Internet research to complete last weekend - information on falconry. The research that students handed in today was excellent.
I hope all who weren't in school today are feeling healthy soon.
