Extra Credit Work...

If your child asked, I gave them extra credit work to complete over the long weekend. Some center work was not completed and can be found on the center work page of this site. If your child completes the work, unfinished, and extra credit work they will be awarded the points towards their grade.
Please be aware that if they did not finish their center work it was because they were using time unwisely. The centers they did lasted for 2 weeks and they had more than ample time to work on them and were advised to work on them at home.
