I hope y'all enjoyed your 3 day weekend. And can you believe that the 1st 6 weeks is already gone!!! So today is going to be "catchup" day. If you are missing any work OR have work that needs to be improved, today is the day to "catchup".  I am going to do the page check today that I didn't get to on Friday. And since we were not here yesterday, we are going to have 20 minutes of SSR to add to our week's total.  Don't forget the "hint" from Thursday. It may happen today.
