Remember that any day reading is due brings the possibility of a reading quiz.  You may always use your own original notes to assist you on any reading quiz.

Also, I did not get naturalistic observation write-ups from everyone.  The assignment description clearly said that each individual (even when working in a pair) was responsible for his/her own write-up.  If you did not give me one, please do so A.S.A.P.  

units 1 and 2 assignments

As mentioned in class, your naturalistic observation is due in class Tuesday 9/22.  Click on the link to the assignment to read the requirements - I will not be giving this out in hard copy.

As indicated on the syllabus, your final unit test on units 1 and 2 will be Friday 9/25.

First post for 2015-16

Here is a link to the course syllabus, which includes the sequence of units and test dates (handy for future reference).  Please sign and have a parent sign the last page and return it on or before Friday 9/11.
