Winterim

Here's what's up for Winterim -
There will be no "regular" classes this week, just those you are scheduled to attend.  Have fun!
However, if you have your test corrections for math, feel free to drop them in the basket in room 1 on any day.  They are not due until Monday, March 9, but why wait?
Your Quiz Bowl questions (posted below) are due on Wednesday, March 11.  Those too may be dropped off any time before then in my basket.
How would you feel about the fraction retest day being Thursday, March 12?  Plenty of time to practice on Quizlet before then ... we can even do math lunches next week for anyone who wants to.
*There will still be volleyball practices on Tuesday and on Friday, even though there is no school.  Don't forget to sign up for the spring volleyball season now!
Have a great week!
Mo ;-)
