Embedded Files
This site gives students a starting point and overview of what we will do in class. It also allows parents a glimpse into my classroom so they have a sense of what their children are doing in class on a day-to-day basis. It is my hope that parents will gain greater insight and the information will inspire greater conversation about class at home.
NOTE: Links to Google Classroom, Google Docs, or other Google Apps for Education will require students to log in to their school accounts.
NOTE: Due to the drop period in our schedule, there are times that your student might be working on a previous day's agenda. That will be noted in the post.
To find what you missed due to an absence, go to the post for the days absent.
Homework:
Charge Chromebook
Organize Drive and papers
Replenish supplies
Bring reading material
NOTE: You can revise and resubmit work. When you submit work late OR revise/resubmit work, you need to tell Mr.d'E.
