Changes due to School Closure

First of all, let me say that I hope you are all doing well, keeping safe, and staying dry!

As you know, Humble ISD closed on Thursday and Friday due to inclement weather.

Periods 1, 3, 5, and 7 took the Crucible test on Wednesday; those grades are posted. The posted grade includes the extra credit. Most of you did not turn in the Power Pyramid assignment and the review stations. You need to finish those for Monday. They were due on Wednesday, so they're already late.

Periods 2 and 4 will take the Crucible test on Monday (and Tuesday, if necessary). Please come to class with the review stations and Power Pyramid already done. Two reasons for this: (1) They're good review for the test, and (2) I can grade them while you're testing. 

Everyone still working on the review stations: Test review answers are still posted on the class website. Directions from all the review stations are posted, too. Scroll down and you'll see them.

Grades for the 6 weeks were supposed to be due on Monday, but due to the closure, they've extended that. It's a pretty tight deadline for teachers, so let's come to classes ready to go on Monday.

Y'all have a nice weekend.
