AP- Ooops, term 4!

hey guys,

i simply did NOT have time to appropriately grade your book reviews last night- at least not to do them and do them well. As such, they will be a term 4 grade. The whole class is in A and B range for term 3 so I'm not going to worry! Thanks for getting them in, etc., and I'll see you all next week. Mr. P has the practice tests- do your best on them, no worries, and don't cheat by peeking ahead! you're only cheating yourself! remember, this is a participation grade and nothing else but it will give you a good idea of how you'll do on the actual AP exam. Enjoy!
