**DISCLAIMER NOTICE: I cannot guarantee that all assignments/exams have been posted. It is your responsibility to pay attention in class and use this Web site as a supplemental tool for our class. Also, keep in mind that we are part of a school community, which oftentimes forces us to change what we are doing in our classroom due to other events happening in the school, so this is not a list of lesson plans written in stone. Just as these plans are posted on a "blackboard," it may be necessary to erase and revise; therefore, it is important that you check back often and see me if you have been absent. |
