Class,

Today I am absent. Your behavior is a reflection of yourself, family and Brandywine Springs School. My expectation for the substitute is that they will write me a note letting me know about your behavior. Please let me know if you have any problems with the assignment.(peter.kelly@redclay.k12.de.us) If you finish early, please let the substitute know so that you can present your current event outloud to the class.

1. Please allow enough time for the substitute to take attendance

2. Complete a current event of your choosing (Check Schoology)

If you have trouble finding one, try this-

3. Submit current event form and screenshot the screen after and submit this to schoology. (graded)

4. If you finish before the end of the class, tell the substitute so that you can present your current event outloud in front of the class (not graded)

In addition to the current event, you should also try doing the daily
