Today we started class in the Media Center to watch the EOC tutorial video and complete the tutorial online. If you did not complete the tutorial, you will have to make it up tomorrow. Then we came back to the classroom, got progress reports, and set up our binders. Then we finished notes from Friday. Remember the test is tomorrow so is the Note book check!
