Math Monkeys:
Hey, I just checked the tenmarks.com site and saw that 22 of you have been working on your math. Way to go! I am SUPER impressed with your dedication, or your parents' dedication, whichever the case may be; keep it up!
For those of you who want to log in and have forgotten your login/password, please email me directly at mcannon@gusd.net and I'll send your pertinent information. For those of you who are merely counting presents, you're only having a fraction of the fun that we who are "playing" on tenmarks are having. Ha ha ha, nerdy math puns for your enjoyment.
For all, have a wonderful break. See you on the 7th of January!
