In case of a weather day tomorrow...

If we have another inclement weather day tomorrow, everything will be pushed back by one day. That would mean the reading quiz would be on Wednesday, 1/29, and the test would be on Wednesday, 2/5.

Important Reminders

In the instance of an inclement weather day tomorrow, please go online and finish watching the French Revolution video. You can find it on youtube or by clicking the link below:

Video guides will be due on Monday!

Additionally, don't forget that you have a reading quiz on Tuesday! Page numbers are listed on the calendar below. For +5 poins on your reading quiz, draw a small picture symbolizing the French Revolution in the top left corner of your quiz paper.

Start doing your rain dances, people! :)
