Week of Mar. 14-17

It's a new quarter and everyone starts with a clean slate.  With only one quarter left in the year, students should make the most of this opportunity to finish the year STRONG!

No new homework this week.  Enjoy the break!

Week of Mar. 7-11

Well, things got a bit jumbled because I had to spend a few days at home with sick kids, plus being sick myself.  We're better now and I returned to school on Wednesday.  So here's the scoop...

1. No new homework this week.  As of this writing I know I won't be seeing grades 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 this week.  I'm not sure about fifth yet. Either way, I'm not assigning any new homework this week.
2. This FRIDAY, Mar. 11 is the end Quarter 3.  Be sure to check OptionC.com daily and get any missing work turned in by FRIDAY in order for it to count for Quarter 3. (Three quarters down, 1 left.  Where the the time go?) 

As of this writing (Wednesday at 10 AM), I have posted everything that had been turned in on Thursday at 3PM (the last time I was at school).  There were quite a few papers in my box this morning and I will work very hard to get everything up to date before I head home today.  Your patience is appreciated.
