Parent Verification of HW sign off sheets:

  • the boxes should reflect the assignments written on the blog
  • For example, Monday's box should be filled in with either Volume Pre-Test or Right Triangle Pre-Test, Tuesday's box will be filled in with whatever assignment I write on the blog tomorrow, and so on and so forth. This means that I will not be collecting these papers on Fridays anymore. Instead, the HW verification forms will be turned on Mondays.
