On this page you can get the daily schedule/Agenda What did we do in class? What's the homework? (what you see on the board daily). Use this page to stay caught up. ***Important Note: I do my best to update the Schedule every A day, at the end of the day. this is done so that that all information is accurate. experience has shown me that if I update my website in advance I end up making changes based on needs of the class. If you are going to be absent due to a vacation, and want your work ahead of time, I likely won't be able to give it to you. This is not due to lack of preparation but because I aim to provide an authentic education, one that is based on the learning needs of my class and my students.
