Apologies

Students and Parents:

I apologize for not having this blog updated in a timely fashion for the last unit. 

EVERYTHING we have done so far this semester is now on this webpage.

Right now we are in the middle of Unit 4! It is a short unit on Latin America so we are going to have to work hard and really study before we take the test THIS WEEK!!

Please encourage students to attend tutoring to make up missing assignments or get extra help this Monday November 7th, from 2:30-3:30. I will also be tutoring Thursday from 2:30-3:30!

PROGRESS REPORT GRADES are due to the school THIS WEEK so we need to get these zeros out of the grade book!!
