PLEASE NOTE that lesson plans are subject to change as the need arises. Students are responsible for copying the actual assignments each day from the Daily Planner chart in the front of my room. If a student is absent from class, then it is his/her responsiblity to obtain and make up missed work in a timely manner. Late work is only accepted one day after it is due (with a deduction of -30 points) -- except for the Reading Log. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
