This is the stuff that drives me crazy

Homework Due 4/14:

·       Read pages 201-208

·       NJ – pg. 174 & 175 crossword puzzle

·       NJ – pg. 168 WDYR

·       Lesson 12 Test – to be emailed by tomorrow night

·       I handed the students a sheet to map where some of the coral reefs of the world are located and told them to complete as homework.  Since there is a decent amount of homework due and they’re working on presentations, I’ve decided to make the sheet optional.  If they complete, they will receive 5 extra bonus points on their lesson 12 test.

·       Keep working on your presentations due 4/28
