During the week we focus on certain assignments on certain days. So I’m adding the focus day to the assignment list below. This way you will know when we are concentrating on a given assignment during the week. I suggest completing that assignment on the day we focus on it. The focus days will be listed (like this) next to each assignment. If you have any questions please let me know. – Mr. Hagan
