Homework

Read pages 64-68 in your workbook to prepare for next week's lesson.
 
Additionally, if you have not already done so, you need to create a SOS section in your binder where you will keep all of your SOS papers that need to be completed as in-class or homework assignments throughout the year.  By keeping all of your SOS papers in one section in your binder, AND carrying your binder with you to and from school each day, you will always have the materials you need for class with you regardless if you attend in-person, remotel, or a combination of both.
