Students learned the proper way to tip for service today in class! We definitely had numerous stories about poor service in a restaurant, but there were also stories of great experiences as well!

Here are the scenarios we worked on together today in class:
We have a Big Gold Notebook Test set for this Friday, May 11th! This should be a super, easy test for everyone if they have kept their notebook up to date!

They can even get notes from a trusted friend, just make sure everything is caught up before the test on Friday!
