get any assignments missed in class. Please ask me or your class buddy for
the missed assignments. You will have the days you were absent to make up
your assignments. After that, there will be 10 points deducted from your
grade each day. Please be conscientious!!!
CLASS PARTICIPATION is a must both verbally and written. You must also be

be rewarded with stickers, “pegatinas”, if you are prepared verbally. Please
keep the sheet of stickers in your folder, if lost, you will have to start
over again and you might fall behind.
