Week 17's lessons 1/7 - 1/8 - 2008

Aloha, and welcome to a new year and the end of your first semester at El Dorado. For the last three weeks of the semester you will be putting together a poem journal (check the last posting for directions), finishing your spiral notebooks, and then your final. Monday at 7 am is the last time I will let you make up your Tangerine final, the couple of you should have already taken it. If you are one of the students who picked up extra credit for vacation it must be graded and turned in by the end of the week.

On a side note the tennis team, which means me, still has ten Entertainment 08 books at $35. They are a great value. My wife and I use it for our date nights to explore new places. Last year we saved over $300. See me if your parents would like to get one.
