A Lesson Before Dying
Use this calendar to keep track of what is happening in class and to plan ahead. In case of an
absence, you will still be responsible for taking the reading quizzes as scheduled unless you
make arrangements before school starts the day of the quiz. Be sure to check the class website
for handouts and to see what we did in class the day you were gone.
