Everyone

"We started from the bottom. Now we're here."

Today is the first day of May. That means yesterday was the last day in April. Neither of these things has happened since last year. Amazing.

• Your notebooks will be due this Friday, so please make sure to get them updated as the week goes on.
• SBAC (Smarter Balance Testing) is going on this week. You may miss a day of class.... it's your job to keep up with what you missed (that's why I write here).
• Student Projects: Several of your projects do not have the proper share settings enabled. All projects should be available to everyone on the internet, and should allow them to "comment" not "view." YOU need to check on your project by the end of Wednesday and see that you have enabled the proper share settings.
• Keep in touch.
