Lesson Plan Change!

The school district would like us to all use the same method for lesson plans and that is a igoogle acct. calendar. So all future lesson plans will open up a calendar for you to click on the day that you wish to see. There will be a honor's lesson plan(period 1) and a Regular History lesson plan(periods 2-6). A folder will be started shortly that will contain all wkshts. that may be needed to accomplish the lessons. We are working on setting up scanners to take care of this. If by any chance your computer is down, or you do not have one, use the same procedure as in the past, and simply call the school requesting homework you can come pick up. Hope this is more helpful for you all!

P.S.IMPORTANT...USE THE LINK WITH MY NAME ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FLEMING MIDDLE SCHOOL LIST ON THE THREE RIVERS SD SITE TO ACCESS MY CALENDAR...IT SAYS KING'S LINKS...EVENTUALLY THIS LINK ON TOP WILL BE GONE.
