Please be advised the above agenda is tentative. Changes can occur for 
various reasons: school assembly, and scheduling changes, sharing of lab 
supplies, copies not returned in time, and particularly student needs and 
pacing.  The best source for what we did in class is your child. Please 
encourage your child to use an agenda so you can get an up to date look at 
what they are doing.
