Other Business [13 +/-]
• Do more typing.com lessons
• Check Powerschool & look at missing or poor grade assignments
• Discuss your grades with your teacher. Discuss the ways in which you can earn better grades. Email them and find out specifically what you need to do. Remember that you fix your grade by doing the work that is assigned - not by asking for extra credit. Offer to REDO an assignment that has a poor grade.  Turn in the work that is marked M or "0". Only AFTER you have done all your work can you ask for extra credit.
• Log-In to Kindle classroom if you need to
