Homework!

Tonight's homework is to read the remainder of chapter 15 section 2 and complete the workbook pages 284-285 from "Terms to know" through "Sum it up".

You should, by now, be moving along nicely with your projects. Be sure you have things in order before break. If that means that you need to be done before you go on vacation, do the best you can to get what you need to do, done.
