I look forward to the next seven
weeks of learning with you in class.
A few reminders:
1. When you send me an email for
class, either a message, a quiz or a test, you must write your NAME and CLASS
in the subject line.
If you do not, I will not know who
you are.

please send the quiz or test as an attachment. If you do not, I will be unable
to make comments or corrections.
3. When you save your quiz or test,
