IMPORTANT NOTES

• Each unit will include a overarching calendar slide, as well as slides with a more detailed agenda for each class day.
• Each day on the calendar will include a link that takes you directly to the more detailed daily slide about that class day.
• Throughout the year, I will move the most recent material & units to the top of the slideshow so you don’t have to scroll as far down. But all of our older materials will still be below if you need to access it.
• I will regularly incorporate links to documents, videos, and assignments you need to complete within this slideshow -- this is really the single most important document to keep you organized in class!

​

• All assignments will be created and submitted through Google Classroom. This means that assignments will automatically populate to your Google Calendar -- use it!
• For the start of the year, we will meet on Zoom, here’s our class link.
• Office Hours link. Office hours are Wednesday and Friday, 2:30-3:40 and Monday by appointment (e-mail me to schedule a time). Use this link for AM support as well, everyday 8:30-8:55.
