Vacation Message & Preview of Week Beginning 04/26

Hi Peeps & Parents,

As of today, all corrected work is posted in IC. It would be smart to go take a look at my gradebook and see what sort of shape you are in. If there is any missing work, take advantage of this vacation to get caught up. Many of the documents are hosted in electronic form on Mediafire. Just click on the link for the unit in question in the left hand margin of the blog. If you cannot find a copy of what you are looking for (or if it requires classroom resources) contact me at jason_cote@fc.sad57.k12.me.us and I will arrange something with you.
