Dear Santa, I need tissue. 🙂

December 3, 2012

Today we read Act 3, scene 1 in Romeo and Juliet. No homework. If you didn’t write down the four vocab words at the beginning of the act, do that and put it in your folder.

Let the Christmas season begin. Officially. 

Check this out. Cool.

Also, what time is it in Verona, Italy right now? You can also see what the weather is like.

Homework tonight (WED) is to write questions and write answers for the questions on page 745 in literature book.  Numbers 1-7.    

I WILL TAKE IT UP. DO NOT COPY FROM ANYONE.

Did someone say bonus?  Write “Fruit Loops” on the bottom of your homework (after your last question and answer) for one bonus pt on it. 🙂

In this one, Acts I through II are pages 1 -51:   Romeo and Juliet online–you can download this onto your iPhone, iPad, Kindle, etc. if I read it correctly.

This one is easier to navigate: Romeo and Juliet

You guys wore me out today.  Was it the excitement of the new seating arrangement or because we started Romeo and Juliet  today? Both?

No homework.
