No Homework 2/24/10

No homework for tonight.
However, for extra practice I gave math students worksheet page 113 and reading students pwb 131.
Math students will recieve extra points on Monday's test and reading students will get 20 points added to their lowest reading or language arts grade.
Projects are looking good so far. I have to turn in the lesson plan for our "Green Machine" project this Friday, and I am seeing some wonderful historical projects.
If our class wins, our class will recieve $500.00 of instructional money. I plan on getting a projection screen and mounting my projector in the ceiling. :)
