Hi class, today we did our vocab quiz C and had the remainder of class to work on our CPR posters.

As discussed in class, for those of you who have the posters finished by Friday, I will collect yours during class.

For those of you who decide to hand it in after spring break, it is due on the FIRST DAY BACK (Wednesday March 30th).  Since you will have had an extra 3 weeks to work on the poster, my standards for you will be higher.

Hello everyone! For those of you who were not here today, we wrote movie reviews for We Were Children and talked about the CPR poster project. The project guidelines are attached below. I will give you class time on Wednesday and Friday to work on the poster, so please bring pencil crayons and your textbooks to class! The poster is due on FRIDAY.
