Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2010
Students have been reminded to start reviewing for test on Chapt 1.
Homework due for Wed. is the Section Review found on page 44, Questions 1-4. Answers are to be completed using sentences that I can understand what the question was. A good suggestion is that they might be able to start their answers by using part of the question.

I hope the team building on Friday was as much fun for students as it was for the faculty involved. It did get pretty warm !
