SL 1 - 1/28/13

Turn in Fractal Friday permission forms and $$!
We'll work on explorations this week. Depending on how things go, we may continue into next week, or delay a bit before picking them up again. While there is not the usual homework load this week, this is the one time that you will be relieved of the usual study of specific ideas to give you time to work on your explorations. Use the time wisely! See you in class,
Mr. Alei
