Congruence
  
 
Remember, no live classes this week. Focus on catching up in the OLS and doing your best on the Semester exam - it's your last chance to raise your math grade.

Also no weekly checkpoints this week.
 
However, we will continue to have Math Lab. I will be in Math Lab Monday, December 17th from 12-2pm and Thursday from 3-4pm if you would like help with your OLS lessons and exams.

Finally, December work samples are officially posted in Study Island. They are due on Saturday, December 15th! No retakes and no late PA8 work samples accepted this month; please do your best and submit on time!

Have a great weekend!                            'See' you Monday in Math Lab @noon!
