Students should be working on a personal time line that is due on Oct. 7th. Each student has a paper that explains the assignment.
I will be gone Tuesday through Friday of this week. On Tuesday I will be attending a district workshop. On Wednesday through Friday I will be involved with a family matter. I will be checking my e-mail daily, so you can still get in touch with me that way.
