Attn. 2nd, 4th, and 7th hour Biology .....

Attention biology students:

Your first Edmodo assignment is posted.  You need to log on to your Edmodo account (or create one if you haven't done so) and answer the questions.  The class code for biology is on the board in my room.  I also sent 2nd hour an E Mail with all of the info about how to register.  Answer the questions and then submit back to me.  This is due on Tuesday, 11/8 and is worth ten points.
