Good morning. 
The sun is shining and it's the first day of spring.  Spend some time outside; walk the dog, play in the yard, or soak up some of that vitamin D.

Please do not send me your completed homework unless I call your name.  
As discussed in class, when I do assign homework and it's due the next day, 
I will post the names of people who need to submit it.  
I will post the answers the following day.

If your name is called to submit homework and you do not send it, parents will be notified.  
You must treat this situation as "school at home"; 
if it's expected to be done in the classroom, it's expected to be done at home.
