Hi all,
For Saturday's review, I strongly recommend that you download and print the .pdf document found at the link below. It is only 14 pages, so you can print it on both sides and save a tree branch or 2. We will go over most of these questions and it may be very helpful to you to take notes on the print-out.

See you tomorrow,

Check your TeacherEase account regularly over the Spring Break to check your progress. If you are missing any projects, assignments, homework or labs - you MUST make sure to have them completed ASAP. This is exceptionally important in regards to the labs. A reminder that if you do not meet the NYS lab requirement of 1200 minutes of lab time by June 2011, you are not able to take the Regents Exam at that time. All labs are posted in the "LABS" section of the WJPS Living Environment Google Site which you can access from the class blog www.msmitsiadisblog.blogspot.com. It is your responsibility to make up this lab time! No one is printing out any new lab handouts for you - if you need one, print it out yourself.
