Week+of+8.22.2011

Hello all:

Welcome to our first full week of school! Below this message is the agenda for this week, which includes what we will be doing in class and the homework assignments for each night. Just to let you know up front: I'm not a huge fan of homework on Fridays, but that does not mean it can't happen. I understand that everyone needs time to just enjoy their life, and that includes students and teachers alike. I'll do my best to spare you as long as you understand that I can't make that promise 100% of the time.

Agendas will be posted by each Monday. Please take the time to review them closely. I have to be prepared for class on a daily basis; I expect the same of you. Assignments will be due on the date posted, regardless of whether I give you a verbal reminder in class or not. Therefore, consult your agenda often and more importantly, be organized! If there are changes to assignments/due dates, I will be sure to let you know in a timely manner.
