SS Plans For Week of Feb. 13th

2 Things First: Thank you for all the parents and students who attended Student led Conferences, your involvement in your child's education is extremely valuable and appreciated. I am sorry that there was no posting/update from last week; I have finally gotten over my week long cold. I missed 2 days of work and some of the extras had to be ignored while I was ill. I am glad to say, that I am near 100% and ready to be back on track and in the classroom.

So here are the plans for the week:

Monday: Students will continue to work through their Chapter 12 Reading Questions. This was handed out on Friday and it is due on Tuesday. Students will be able to use this question guide at the end of the chapter.
