Activities for week ten 2nd semester 3/30 - 4/3 - 2015

British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli observed, The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own." That is really the essence of positive relationships that influence people to rise up and reach their potential. They see the best in you and encourage you to strive for it. Author William Allen Ward remarked, "A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strengths; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities." As we finish the school year let's lift each other up and influence each other in positive ways. Please check Aeries and make up your S.S.Reading points.

Good news for you, we will not be writing a To Kill a Mockingbird essay. On April 15 - 17 you will be doing a District Performance Task - writing two essays for the District. Also on April 21 - 22 you will be taking a science test for the State in our Language Arts II class. I hope by the end of the year you will be a professional test taker.
