4th Quarter 11th week's lessons 4/16 - 4/20 - 2007

Aloha, I hope your vacation has been refreshing and fun. Now it is time to finish the school year strong. For extra credit if you have a 'C' or lower print from the Aeries system your grade and have a parent both sign and print their name on the printout. This is due Monday before the warning bell only (20 points). Everyone can go to http://www.nytimes.com/learning/students/satofday/index.html
for the Test Prep Question of the Day. This is a 20 point extra credit project if you answer the question and print it, then go to Strategies for Answering this Type of Question and print it. It has the same due date as the first project. Remember, "Early is on time, on time is late, and late should never happen."
