Workday Extra Credit!

Because it's a workday, you guys have an extra credit opportunity!  YAY!  

And before you ask, this will NOT count for the first nine weeks.  Instead, this extra credit will be banked for the second nine weeks.

For FIVE points extra credit, click on the link below to take the Adjective Review Quiz.  You can take it as many times as you want, but you must score a 90% or above in order to earn the extra credit.  You can only earn the extra credit ONE time, so taking it 15 times and scoring a 100% each time won't do anything for you.  Sorry.

In order to earn the points, you must have this extra credit opportunity completed by 8a on FRIDAY, October 23rd.  

HAVE FUN!
