HW Problems

Mrs. Hicks: I didn't get the math sheets that were handed out. Can I come in early this morning and work on it? Also....I was the one who took my group's comstitution home. We were close to finishing, but when I took it home, I forgot to bring along the notes that we took (to guide us on what it would be about). Can I come early and work on that too?
