Hello and welcome to my webpage!  I am very excited about the new school year.  I hope you find all the information you need on this page.  I will be updating my web page weekly.  Please click on the Assignments and Homework link to the right to access my homework & assignments.   If you have any questions, feel free to email me. Reminders: Progress reports go home every three weeks.  Progress reports are signed and returned the next day.  The students have one week after progress reports to turn in any late work.  After that week, the grade becomes a permanent zero. Students have a calendar in their binder with the "planned" work for the month.  Changes are made periodically to the calendar.  The calendar is turned in at the end of the month for a test grade.  If a calendar is lost, students can write a half page paper explaining the importance of scheduling and keeping calendars for a possible "70" points. My last day to teach this year will be Friday, April 28th.  I am going to miss everyone!  It has been a wonderful year.  My substitute will be Ms. Dorris.  She is a retired teacher, has subbed in the school and is wonderful.  I am sure the students will love her.  If you have any questions about assignments, homework or your child you can ask her.  If you need to contact me, leave your name and number with her; I will be in touch often.  Thanks again for a wonderful year!   Important Dates: March 20--First day of last nine weeks April 5--Share research Project April 12--Progress Reports go home April 14--Good Friday-No school May 1--New Kempf baby to be born May 3--Progress Reports go home May 24--Tie-dye t-shirts May 25--Last day of School
