Good Afternoon,

*Reminders:

a)  Create a reading schedule with your novel group.  I will create channels on Teams so that you can communicate with each other

b) Ensure that any missing work is handed in…my marks have to be submitted the day after we return.  I will be doing report cards over the winter break.

c)  Ensure that you review “poetry terms” as we will have a quiz on these upon our return.

Have a Great Winter Break!! Stay Safe, Healthy, enjoy your families and get rested:)!!
