END OF YEAR WRAP UP

I was getting over the stomach flu last week and a little behind with the blog.  Students reviewed for a quiz on Wednesday and had quiz on Thursday of last week.  Scores are in Engrade. I also had a bonus opportunity available last week (tree coordinate graphing activity); those will no longer be accepted after break.

Have a Great Christmas and Happy New Year!
