I want all my students to be actively involved in The Friendship Journey this week. I know many of you are hosting guests from around the world, and participating in a variety of a evening activities. Therefore there will be very little homework assigned in my classes this week.
The only assignment for this week is that students should work to finish the North America Reading packet which is due on Friday, 10/1.
