REMEMBER TO STUDY! With the upcoming weekend predicted to have spectacular weather, be wary - - plan to study, and then study. Tuesday's exam is the final major grade of the quarter, your final opportunity to change your grade, one way or the other.

i have a question about the
4square hw.
when we write the examples, do we write a sentence using the word or just a word or phrase that describes the word?
ex) the word elaborate
a maze( for the example)
You may do it either way, the phrase is fine for now. We will do sentences for words later.
