Out Sick – September 12th, 2016

Aside

Good morning! Sorry I couldn’t be there with you today. I had stomach problems all night, so it’s bland foods, water and rest for me today.

I’d like for you to continue to work on your C.R.A.P. page. Remember to list the four elements of C.R.A.P., tell me what they look like and show me what they look like using pictures, text or any other visual method we have studied.

Check the “Check for Understanding – Principles of C.R.A.P.” assignment posted last week for further details. If you complete the assignment, feel free to turn it in to Google Classroom. If you still need help, I’ll be there tomorrow to assist and to help you turn it in.

Thanks for all your hard work, and I’ll see you tomorrow!
