Welcome again to our website. Here you will be receiving your work load for the duration of the school year. You must be responsible for your own work, and follow the directions carefully. I have provided an example (click on "example" PDF below) of how you are to write down your work in your "At-Home" Journal, which again is due every Friday. At the beginning of each week I will have a screencast of what the lessons are going into for the week. Watch them to get clarification of what is expected out of you.
