HW: None

Students can enjoy the weekend. They may also re-do their first Reading Log homework on the article “Growing Up Digital” if they want due to not having followed directions and earning a lower grade than they possibly could have received. That re-do, with the original will be due on Monday, February 13th.

Otherwise, they will have an essay to write over the Winter Break. So, enjoy the weekend free of homework.
