A3
- Lit Circle Meeting 4
- USA Test Prep/Achieve 3000
- Very frustrating technology day; many of our laptops would not connect to the Internet or connected and moved so slowly that it made it hard or impossible for most students to complete this task
- If you can finish what you were assigned today at home, great. If not, we'll touch base Wednesday and decide what our next steps are. We may just take a short vacation from using the laptops until the issues are sorted out.
