Grading Period 3.4
February 9 – 13
This is a tentative assignment sheet—meaning that changes will sometimes be necessary. If changes are
necessary, we will make them together during class. That is one of many reasons you should always retain
each quarter’s assignment sheets behind the ASSIGNMENT tab in your binder. All classwork and homework
are subject to grading. If you are absent, you are responsible for picking up any missed work and making up
any missed work within five class days. REMINDER: Tutoring on Thursday afternoon from 3:45 –4:50.
