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.
