**REMINDER**spirals

Please remember to bring a spiral notebook to class. We will be documenting our daily work on Wix in them for a quiz grade each week. They will also be used to take down important notes for our next Quiz. Too many people are not remembering what we discuss in class due to not taking notes. This is no longer acceptable.

These are VERY important, and should be brought to class each and every day. No excuses.

DON'T FORGET
