Thank you!

*Some notes on the bellwork quizzes:
The quizzes are posted on this blog (chapmangeometry.blogspot.com)
All resources are valid (books, computers, neighbors, etc)
Students have five minutes (8:05, 9:05, 10:05 or 1:45) to turn in their work
they then have five minutes (8:10, 9:10, 10:10, or 1:50) to whiteboard their solutions
and then have five minutes (8:15, 9:15, 10:15 or 1:55) for each group to present
followed by independent academic time
Usually we grade the quizzes during presentations, but I'll just take care of that upon my return.
