Are you asking yourself how we can POSSIBLY fit so much fun into one mester? BUT WAIT, THAT'S NOT ALL!
We're going to prepare for the CAHSEE, which is coming up sooner than you think. Suffice it to say, you will be much, much smarter by Christmas than you are right now. Oh yeah, we also get to go through Halloween, a presidential election, Thanksgiving, Hannukah and Christmas together. Ho-hum.
NOTE: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL WORK YOU MISS WHEN ABSENT! Get your absence cleared by bringing a note into the tenth grade center, then I will let you make up whatever assignment you missed. You can find out what you missed by following the links below.
