My apologies to the 6th Period.  This HW does not apply to you.

Every Wednesday, the students do Achieve3000.  If the activity is not completed in class, then it becomes homework.  If the student does not have access to internet from home, then the student needs to work out Chromebook usage at school with the teacher.

Title for today:
