Period 1
Apologies guys! I have a daughter at home that we believe has strep throat so I'm home with her today. This just provides you with time to work on your calendar (all the way through proofing), your Lens Flare Background and the Collage. If you have back work to do, this would be a great day to do that as well, including making proof sheets for photos that you have turned in but haven't proofed yet. If everything is done, you can even use the resources on Schoology to study for the final. Remember that tomorrow and Monday we will have class in room 419, the same place that you go for AP if you come to visit me. Hope you have a great day today!
