Safety Net or Anchor?

Just a reminder for tomorrow:  We're checking binders (now including your CNN Logs) and Skyward access tomorrow!  Totaled together, that's 65 points.  Throw in your vocabulary (due Wednesday), that's 120 points!  The question is, what will YOU do with the opportunity?  These things should create a nice safety net for you - if you take care of business.  If not, you're getting ready to attach a huge anchor to your grade.  Make the right decision; TCB!

Click the graphic below to check on your Skyward access and check your classroom guidelines for instructions on how to set up your binder.  If you've lost it or don't have it with you, click here (Western Civ:  the guidelines are the same for you as for U.S. History).
