Dates listed are when the homework was assigned. Typically, it is due the next day, unless I have given alternate instructions. 

There may be additional homework for students who did not complete their classwork.

Reminder: Math tutoring is available during carline on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:00-3:30. If your child got 6/10 on the most recent math quiz, I request that they attend at least one of the week's tutoring session. If you would specifically like to request tutoring for your child on a Monday or Wednesday, please email me so that I can make sure they participate.

Eldorado

By Edgar Allan Poe

Gaily bedight,

   A gallant knight,

In sunshine and in shadow,   

   Had journeyed long,   

   Singing a song,

In search of Eldorado.

   But he grew old—

   This knight so bold—   

And o’er his heart a shadow—   

   Fell as he found

   No spot of ground

That looked like Eldorado.

   And, as his strength   

   Failed him at length,

He met a pilgrim shadow—   

   ‘Shadow,’ said he,   

   ‘Where can it be—

This land of Eldorado?’

   ‘Over the Mountains

   Of the Moon,

Down the Valley of the Shadow,   

   Ride, boldly ride,’

   The shade replied,—

‘If you seek for Eldorado!’
