- Today is the last day for you to hand in late and revised work for Term 3!
- Thursday's Cavetime will be in Lab 211. You may finish your book project or the make-up work or finish the SRI.
- Friday during Cavetime I will be showing the end of The Outsiders for students who were absent. Go to lab 223 quickly if you need to finish your SRI test.
- This would be a great time to pass off your February/March Book Assignment.
- Finish filling out and hand in your Venn Diagram if you haven't. There should be at least five items in each section: five similarities in the middle section and five contrasting items to show the differences between the book and the movie.
- Plan to hand in any left-over hall passes next Wednesday or Thursday.
Superstitious - Shel Silverstein
If you are superstitious you'll never step on cracks.
When you see a ladder you will never walk beneath it.
And if you ever spill some salt you'll thrown some 'cross your back,
And carry' round a rabbit's foot just in case you need it.
You'll pick up any pin that you find lying on the ground,
And never, never, ever throw your hat upon the bed,
Or open an umbrella when you are in the house.
You'll bite your tongue each time you say
A thing you shouldn't have said.
You'll hold your breath and cross your fingers
Walkin' by a graveyard,
And number thirteen's never gonna do you any good.
Black cats will all look vicious, if you're superstitious,
But I'm not superstitious (knock on wood).
