Reminders for Break:

**Immediately when you return to class on Monday, Jan. 6, be ready to turn in to me your ENTIRE R/J reading/intro packet including having read/written notes THROUGH Act 2 of the story. You'll also turn in Act 1 and Act 2 vocabulary notes. Be ready! And of course, feel free to read/work ahead in the story over Break.
