"Most great things in your life won’t happen by chance, they will happen by choice." ~Everyday Life Lessons



WEEK OF MARCH 17-21


Well, another "Week in Retrospect" --
  
What a mess last week turned out to be.  On Tuesday the 11th we had no internet (and everything we needed to do to complete the marking period depended on it).  Then, of course, we had that 2-day crazy Snowstorm on the 13th and 14th!  Good grief!

Anyway, because the 3 final/critical days of the last marking period were lost, I extended them into this week so that those still wishing to correct/edit/conference/finish any outstanding work could do so.  For many students, this provided the opportunity to improve on an existing grade.  For others, the extended time was, unfortunately, not utilized.  Ahh, lessons take many forms.

Needless to say, this week was crazy-busy!  Just for the record, I'll briefly summarize assignments from the week:
