• NEW SEATS! Sit down.

• Focus: spread out your flashcards on
your desk. I will be around to check them.
If they are not spread out and ready by
the time I get there they are late!

• Focus 2: update your “this week in L.A.”

in your daybook. Make sure you’ve added
a sentence or two from Monday’s class
AND from yesterday’s class.
