New video lesson and assignment posted on iLearn today. Please watch the video lesson before starting the new assignment called “Maria’s Suspension”.

If you did the CATCH UP assignments last week, I have been grading and posting since Monday morning, I will hopefully finish the last of the grading today, and have all of the CATCH UP assignments in the gradebook by tonight.

43 STUDENTS DID NOT TAKE the Nadia the Willful OPEN BOOK Test last week. I sent several Remind Messages, I talked about the test in my Video Lessons, and also reminded you to take the test on this blog. Your grade is most likely an E in the gradebook if you did not take the test.

I will re-open the test again THIS FRIDAY 5/15/20 at 8am. It will stay open until Sunday 5/17/20 at 11:59pm. This is the ABSOLUTE LAST CHANCE for students to receive credit for this ASSESSMENT.
