Month: May 2019

Welcome Guest Teacher! EVERYBODY PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!
I will be on campus, checking in now and then. As you know, the guest teacher will leave a note letting me know how you did in each class and rate you 1-10 for cooperation and respect. I think everybody knows the consequences of a score less than 8.

Tomorrow’s Test: Vocab + Tom Sawyer. No Preview Test This Week! D’oh!
