Hello Students,
ReplyDeleteIt is Sunday night & it is after 9:30pm. I have counted 18 assignments posted here (2 posts are comments.) That means that there are still 15 of you who have not yet done your homework... I sure hope that you will get your assignment done before Monday! You have had 5 days to accomplish this. I will check again in the morning.

Thank you to all the students who accomplished this HW assignment. You did a good job of deciding & then listing what you would pack onto your sled for an expedition into the Arctic. However, as of 3:00pm on Monday, there are 10 students who have not done this HW assignment that was due today. (This should have been easy to accomplish.)
