2. If you were absent yesterday!
I hope you enjoyed your day off!
But, You missed a quiz!!
You need to make it up.

3. Due Today BellWork, going back to August 28. There are 13 of them.
Current Event Number 3 is due at 11:59pm today.

4. Time for the HONORS part of this class
Today and Monday will be a lab
This will be due on Tuesday
This covers the coordinate systems that we just learned about
Now you get to apply it
You will work in groups
Each person needs to turn in their own assignment
This is hard! This is an Honors class, so you should expect to be challenged
It is a college level lab, because this is a college level course (though slowed down)
If you do all the reading, watch the videos, go through each thing individually, and work together, it’s really actually not that hard
If you go right to the answers, you wont be able to do this.
I don’t want you to just fill in blanks for a grade, I want you to learn about astronomy.
You will start by going to google classroom and clicking on the link
This is going to require brain power!!
