ReplyDeleteits me Elizabeth. I didn't really understand the homework for last night, could you explain it in class tomorrow?

The homework was to make sure you completed up to pg6 in vocab, for those who didn't - complete the essay, and be prepared to discuss Ch7 in Bean Trees. **Folks should have read Ch8 also.
