3/19/20 Update
How did several of you figure out how to sign up for Google Classroom already? I thought I had to give you a Classroom code --bzlaan7. I will be posting our assignments regularly on Google Classroom starting on Monday 3/23. I will give you a link to our Monday 3/23 Zoom meeting (which will be scheduled at 11:30 AM) by noon tomorrow both here and on Google Classroom.

Monday is pajama day so you don't have to dress up:)
***UPDATE: School administrators asked that we have no homework this week as students and staff need to adjust to the new methods of instruction. So, your only homework for this week is to sign up for our class on Remind.com using the following url: https://www.remind.com/join/dfcgdg4
