Daily Routine
Students enter the class, read and follow the DO NOW. They should arrive every class with the tools needed to be successful in my class which are: a writing tool, head phones, two highlighters, a pencil bag, ONE two pocket folder, all work from previous days inside the two pocket folder and a super attitude.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR!!!
