Unit I Exam

Turned in notebook & DOMINATED the Exam.

I grade the exams like I do the product: you must get to a level 2.0 before I'll grade the 3.0 stuff.

I'm gone the next three days, but before school next Wed, Thurs & Friday will be exam revision days to complete essays and revise any missed answers.

This blog will be quiet out there until I return to town Wed.  So my dozens of readers may be disappointed for a while, but no fears, this will return soon!!
