Welcome to Mr. Dollahite's schoolnotes.  Each week, I will post the homework that was assigned in class as well as a brief description of the day's events inside the classroom.

Students should be writing three questions and a three to five sentence summary after every note session.  I periodically check these notes, questions and summaries for a grade.  It is a good idea to review on a nightly basis your WODs.

(Summarize) = Students are to summarize in one paragraph one of the red headings in the assigned text.
