Class Procedures and Reminders
Project Stack. I've read and replied to all the assignments turned in on Sunday, and I'll get through the rest of the Week 5 assignments in the stack today, plus as many of the Week 6 (and later) assignments as I can. As always, you can check the stack to make sure I received your assignment.
Congratulations on all the projects! I've got some more projects to add to the class lists, and I'll start updating the slideshow also. Meanwhile, for the Week 6 feedback you'll be visiting other people's projects, both Portfolios and Storybooks, and I hope you will enjoy seeing what everybody has been doing!
