April 16 - 20

We just finished Gatsby; it's been a great experience reading this classic American story with you, and I'm looking forward to the discussions on Monday and Tuesday. This week, we'll have a journal check and enjoy the 2013 Gatsby movie. Juniors will take the CAST (Science) exam this Friday.
