This page is designed to keep you informed on the daily activities in my classroom.  I will try to keep it updated and current each day or as time allows.  On the page will be news, student accomplishments, homework information and important dates.  One of the most useful tools that parents and students have used in the past few years is Email.  If you have any questions about a grade or an assignment, please Email me as soon as possible.  I check it daily and will respond immediately.

The first ten weeks (First Quarter) we will be working through the district essesntial questions and key understandings by using Alexandre Dumas The Count of Monte Cristo.

This will be our main text.  It is important that we ALL have the same version. (There are at least 10 different translations and abridged versions).  

Honors Students who want to buy The Count of Monte Cristo:

Buy the SIGNET CLASSIC Abridged Version (it should be about 500 pages in total)
