Students have a take home test for the novel Killing Mr. Griffin. This take home test will be due the Thursday when we get back from break. It would be wise (if students are able) to begin this take home test over break. It may help relieve some stress later!

Also, if you have Skyward access and notice that the literature grades are unusually low, it is because I have had a rash of students not turning things in. These grades can always be changed; however, I wanted to put in the missing grades as a reminder for students.
