This week will begin our review for CRCT. We only have ten more days until testing begins, so I would like to take this opportunity to review the major concepts we discussed this year. Students, if there are any topics or items we have discussed this year that are still unclear for you, please bring this to my attention either in class or through email. I will be sure to include that in my review if not done so already :-)
