1. The big reminder: don’t forget that books are due 11/5, at the beginning of class. You will not have time to finish them in class, and you should be ready to review them right at the beginning of class.
2. As you finish books, make sure to put supplies back in the box/cubby so that other people will have access to them. Don’t take them anywhere else.
