Hi everybody. Sorry I have not been in.  Obviously, we will have to make some changes to the schedule.  I am not sure when I will be back; hopefully by Wednesday (fingers crossed).

On Monday or Tuesday, your reading guides will be returned.  I'll put the keys online so you can check your answers.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, just email me.
