Hi Syndi!
Yes, it route is from New England (Boston and New York ports) to Africa to the West Indies. We are also including Europe because remember New England colonies often traded with Europe? Look at page 78 in the Social Studies textbook for more details.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz

Dear Mrs. Dela Cruz,

For the explicit & implied information worksheet that you gave us for homework yesterday,
About that. I am not able to find it so I was wondering if you are able to give me another one if possible.

Dear Mrs.Dela Cuz,

For the dare essay, I was wondering what if we already did the DARE essay? Are we still supposed to do the essay frame because Oficer Vegas already told us to do our first draft when you were gone in Kaua'i for your family. So I just wanted to be sure if that is okay with you

sincerely,

Hi Isaiah!
I didn't have a chance to respond back to you last night. I think you did find the worksheet since you turned it in today.

Hi Kyle!
Sorry I was not able to respond back to you yesterday. Try to find problems Hawaii residents are facing relating to marjiuana use. If you are not able to find any information, you can use some of the facts given to you from your DARE book.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Dela Cruz
