Week of February 15th

Seems like we never get through a complete week of school these days, but I am hopeful that this week will be different.

This week in pre-AP we will take the "Hound" test on Monday. Please check the archives, for a list of vocabulary to study, and be sure that your novel guides are complete and ready to be turned in on Monday. Beginning Tuesday, we will be reading a new novel called Night. This novel is a memoir of a holocaust survivor. This goes nicely with your upcoming history unit, as you will be covering the holocaust aspect of World War II beginning Tuesday as well.

In grammar we will finally finish up adjectives, and will begin adverbs.
