Week of Feb 26th

Dear Class,

I'm laid up at home with a cold. Can we please reschedule our restaurant field trip (Tuesday 27th)?

Please also see the questions I have posted regarding the Wild Sheep Chase and The Tipping Point. Can you complete these in the LRC this morning (or by Thursday). Please post to this blog.

Keep warm.

Many thanks,

Thomas

2. By Chapter 12, what does the sheep become to symbolize?
