Welcome back to 2006! Friendly reminders:
The Teacher Workday is Tuesday, January 3--please don't come up to school unless you are making up work. THIS IS NOT A DAY TO VISIT AND CHAT. I will (most likely) be extremely unpleasant as I frantically finish grades.
APees--Have you finished Frankenstein?
Gifted IVs--Are you ready to do a research paper?
Gifted IIs--If you haven't yet acquired The Elements of Style or No Fear Shakespeare: Julius Caesar, I suggest you do so. The first title is mandatory; the second is optional.
