If you're caught up, you have no homework for vacation. 

Algebra 2:
You have a Journal that is due on Wednesday after we return from break. We will have time on Monday to ask questions about the Journal, but no "Journal Day" class to work on it. You should definitely get started this week, and come with questions about anything you're confused about for Monday.

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Geometry:
I'll be out tomorrow, so please be good for the sub. No new homework, but tomorrow you'll be doing more origami or drawing 3D objects. If you have not given me your Journal or finished the quiz from last week, those things must be made up before vacation or they will not be worth any points.
