Because of the slippery roads yesterday, co-op was cancelled.  Use your writing time this week to continue working on previous assignments.  Please check the gradebook (you and/or your parents should have been sent a link) for missing assignments---especially Writing Minutes!  Any completed writing can be emailed to me.
