Last day before Spring Break
Students are reminded that they have a book review due on Monday, April 4th
They should also bring back their "10 things about me" bag

I have challenged the students to increase their fact knowledge by at least 10 facts over the break (using Reflex)  I wonder if any can reach 20 new facts.

Have a great break, see you on Monday, April 4th.
