B is for Bear
From September 9 to May 26, students will be going through exactly one chapter each week in the B is for Bear textbook. In addition, they will memorize one stanza of poetry every week, indicated on the weekly assignment page. There will be no classes on November 25 (Thanksgiving week), December 23 and 30, and April 7, and no assignments will be given for those dates. The tentative Speech Night date is Friday, May 19 at 6:30.
Look over your part for the Speech Night Play. If you want more to say, be creative and write it, and if I like it, I will put it in!
