Today in Class

Check the ABSENT BINDER for handouts if you've been absent. They will be filed by your period and have your name on them. LOOK for Mr. S's Science notebook to update your binder's table of contents or copy notes if you were absent. The other option is to copy a friend's notes into your Notebook or if I have posted an image of the notes copy that.
