English 8th: Students received their finalized class journals today, and even though I fixed a typo on the front cover before saving/printing, it somehow reverted back to the original file (arg!).  So, I will bring replacement covers when we return from break for those who purchased the journals.  Students who had not taken an AR quiz on Anne Frank already took one today, then they worked on a monster picture for our Monster Exchange the last week of the semester.  *homework:  IF YOU ARE NOT AT 100% OF YOUR AR GOAL CURRENTLY, YOU NEED TO READ READ READ!!  If your monster picture is not completed, please have it done for Monday, January 7th, 2013 (next year).
