Got Any Math Homework Today, Dear?
Before you accept the response, "No, I don't have any homework..." Please, see this week's assignments listed below. Each day will be listed with the class and homework assignment for each day. I have also included the targeted dates for upcoming quizzes, tests, and/or projects. I do not give "pop" quizzes, and if a date needs to be changed for any of these dates it will be postponed, not moved up.
