Monday, Nov. 23
In my last period class there seemed to be some
confusion about whether I had verbally assigned
Pg. 83-84 for homework. Although several students
assured me I had, I decided to give the "benefit
of a doubt" and wait to check that assignment
tomorrow. I will check for the vocabulary and
questions over pg. 83-84 tomorrow. Then we will
play Elemento, the chemistry game. There is no
other homework tonight and will be no homework
over the holidays.

Tuesday, Nov. 24
Have a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving! Especially
be thankful for and give lots of hugs to those
grandparents. My children do not have any grandparents
still living on either my or my husband's side of the
family - how I would love to have more time with
those precious loved ones!
