Lesson Plans
Notes:
● The grades in iNow are current. Below is a refresher of the coding in iNow:
○ AB - Absent. Student was absent and has not turned in this assignment. An AB will turn into a zero at the end of the nine weeks if the student does not make up the assignment.
○ NHI - Not Handed In. Student was present for this assignment and did not turn in. An NHI counts as a zero unless the student turns it in with a late penalty.
● We are in the final couple weeks of the semester. Please check your student’s grades in iNow and make sure they are on track to finish strong.
Due Dates:
● There is a test on the Late Middle Ages on Wednesday this week. The students will have a study guide on Tuesday, their notes that they took this week, and their graphic organizers they completed during the week in order to help them study.
Before School / After School Duties:
● I have no duty this week. Students are more than welcome to come to my room before school, during my second block planning, and after school to study, ask questions, etc.
