Last week's activities 6/14 - 6/17 - 2010

In The Muppet Movie they say, "Life's like a movie, write your own ending." As we finish the school year you have a chance to write your own ending. First study hard for your final, that is in your own hands. Your final will be just vocabulary lessons 1 - 20. The parts of your final will be just like the vocabulary packets you have used all year: critical reading, sentence completion, and analogies. You will have 200 questions worth 800 points, and you will need a number two pencil. Also don't forget our study session on Tuesday. Write you own ending to this semester.

Mark Twain said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
