Happy Vacation!

I hope you all have a great vacation. Remember, there is still plenty of time to improve your ELA grade so don"t give up the ship!!!!
I have sited a link for "sparknotes" for our next book, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor. Click on Read, Read, Read so you can get a jumpstart by glancing through the summary of one or more chapters. It is a story set in Mississippi during the Great Depression. The story deals with racism experienced by African Americans in 1933 particularly the Logan family. Read the sparknotes to introduce yourselves to the strength, faith, and love demonstrated by this incredible family.
I will be busy grading your finals and vocabulary tests this week. Please rest up and have fun because when you return we move "full speed ahead!"
