Reading your novel of choice over the break is optional. For those who really wanted to read Things Fall Apart, I just received 8 copies today, so you can always wait until after break and trade the book you got yesterday for this one. Things Fall Apart is about colonization in Africa.

No homework over break unless you didn't finish the grammar worksheet I handed out . . .it's a contest to see who can find all the errors! Be sure to rewrite the sentences on your own sheet of paper.

Have a wonderful and safe Spring Break!
