Hello wonderful people--
While I'm so sad to leave you, I hope you all realize what an amazing opportunity you've been given to have Ms. Tool as your teacher for the second half of the school year. Please continue to work hard and make yourselves (and me!) proud. Your assignment over the winter break should be an enjoyable one, as Into the Wild is a fantastic book! Don't forget to bring home your notes on Romanticism and Transcendentalism to complete the quote journals. Just in case you did forget those notes, the link to the notes Prezi is below from the Thanksgiving break. Have a wonderfully restful yet productive winter break and best wishes for a happy new year!
