The Giver VII

Students took the spelling test after a warm-up where we discussed the decision of the Council of Elders to have an "Unscheduled Holiday" in the community.

Everyone was told that there will be a quiz on chapters 15-17 on Monday.

Attention was directed to the book packets. Students were reminded to make sure all sections are completed as they read, including the character map at the back.
