Rome
Today in class we went over the test, which I did pretty well on, but I think I would have gotten a better grade if I had studied the things, I didn’t know a little bit more, maybe I would have gotten an A. But then we went over what we would be doing while you are going to be out, like what we should accomplishing each day and what needs to be done by the time the bell rings,  and that we need to still be posting a blog every day and how on Friday now it needs to be done before midnight, not Saturday. We need to finish our work each class period and we cannot be playing games even if we are done, you should be working on other work from other classes. There is a schedule of what we need to follow is on a piece of paper right next to the white board calendar.
