The kids have a three-day weekend. The teachers don't. In my bitterness, I've assigned the following homework:

6th grade SS: worksheet for the video, due Monday.  PLUS there is a study guide that should be filled out.  It is NOT homework, but filling it out will help you prepare for the TEST ON AFRICA ON TUESDAY. 
 
6th grade LA: pg. 347 exercises 9 & 10 in the Grammar book PLUS the first four chapters of The Chocolate War (to page 29) PLUS the rest of the short story "Lather and Nothing Else" ending on pg. 496 of the Literature book.
