Monday's Binder Check

As I mentioned in class, the Monday Binder Check will include your notes from the days I was out sick (Monday-Wednesday) and the bellringers since the last check. Any recent GLEs up to #23 are fair game.

Test Delayed until Monday

I hope no one minds, but since we have had some technical difficulties with the flashcards, I'm postponing the test until Monday.

Plain Text Study Guide 2.3

If no other version will work for you I have posted the plain text version. It's not pretty but it works. The flashcards are best. As I mentioned in class a few times, you may have to turn on JAVA in Explorer and go into your control panel for your firewall/virus/spyware programs and permit JAVA to run. I opened the flashcards on an old computer on campus. I installed JAVA and had the flashcards running in 3 minutes. Just click through the screens. If you have trouble email me. I will do what I can on my end but if your computer is locked down tight by protection software my efforts may be in vain and I am not familiar with most of the PC protection software because I run Mac and Ubuntu Linux at home.

Test will be Friday

Hopefully you will have come down from your Halloween sugar high and be ready for Test 2.3 on Friday. I will review you when I see you on Thursday.

Test Delayed

I will be out on Tuesday, so no test for now. If I am back on Wednesday the test will be on Thursday, as I will need a day to review. Be nice to my subs.

Poinsettia Sales

Please remember to sell the Poinsettias. Forms and flyers went home last week. Our Mardi Gras is financed through the sales.
