CP1 REMINDERS!

Just a reminder that your Chapter 3 worksheet packets are due FRIDAY 10/19 and count as a big QUIZ GRADE! That means you NEED to complete them and make sure you turn them in on time (if you don't do it, it will really hurt your average)!

Also, if you are interested in completing the optional timeline project for extra credit, that is also due Friday 10/19.

Good luck on PSATs tomorrow for the Sophomores and Juniors!

CP1 Chap 3 Worksheet Packets

All CP1 classes received a packet of chapter 3 worksheets today (except A, which will get it tomorrow). This packet will be due sometime at the end of next week (due date TBD, depending on how quickly we get through the rest of the chapter), and will count as an open note QUIZ GRADE!!

PLEASE start working on it now, and complete the later sections as we cover them in class. This is a very good opportunity to bring up your test average, but remember that if you don't hand in the packet, it is equivalent of taking a zero on a big quiz!!!
