Taxonomy, Viruses, & Bacteria Test Results

6th Hour: 85% Average...wonderful job! Still had 4 below the 70% mark...so the pizza party won't happen but let's keep pushing for it.

7th Hour: 80% Average...very good work! I was really impressed with how some that typically had C's on past tests were able to get A's on this one...keep that up...you guys are what earned that 80% average. 6 below the 70% mark...so the pizza party will wait on you as well. Although you didn't quite catch them...with an average of 80%...I think you've earned a homework break.
