Schedule Change

I have decided to give an extra day for the homework this week.  Rather than the quiz taking place on Thursday, we will be taking the quiz on Friday this week.  Therefore, the homework (orange sheets) will be due on Friday rather than Thursday. 

Looking forward to a great week!!!

Today students took a practice EXPLORE test.  The EXPLORE test will be given on September 26th.  The test today served the purpose of getting the students familar with the test.
