You can check here each week to see what we are working on in class and at home. Each week will be broken down into two sections (Classwork and Homework). Classwork will tell you what students work on in class and homework will let you know what they are responsible at home.
Additionally, there will be times where classwork that is not completed will be taken home in order to be finished.
