Happy Tuesday!  Today we took a group quiz and I will be posting grades soon!

No homework for today, but get ready!  Make sure you have your textbook, as the homework I will be assigning is going to be directly from the book.

A reminder about homework:  Homework will be collected at RANDOM.  Sometimes it will go into the gradebook, yet homework will always serve as great practice for understanding concepts.
