Note:  The Florida Standards Assessment/practice test will not be accepted after this week.  Once we review the answers in class I will not accept the assignment and you grade will remain a zero in the grade book.  Please see the post that I created prior to the break in regards to this assignment; it is the assignment that requires you to visit www.fsassessments.org and document all 18 of your answers on notebook paper.  Thank you for your diligence and focus!
