Agenda

Every student received an agenda. This must be signed every night. It will be a homework participation grade. This is a great tool for communication. Parents can add comments or ask questions. It also lets them know what is going on in the classroom. Please ask your child about their agenda.
Thanks!

The first week of school I will focus on school and classroom rules, schedule, classes, introductions, overview of curriculum, a lot of forms that need to be signed, and the first project for students (BioCubes/Posters).
