***HOMEWORK NOTE***
I apologize for the confusion regarding the math homework for this week. The pages in the homework book do not match up very well...if at all...to the classroom pages for this chapter. There is a LOT of information on the homework pages that IS NOT in the classroom book. Please just do the problems that you can and leave the rest. Believe it or not, these were the pages that matched up the best...and that's not saying much!
