I told students today I CANNOT post reading notes from the chapters on the blog anymore.  I must go through iLearn from now on.  I mentioned this to my students today, and they are aware of this.  From now on, they must get resources through the iLearn website.

I gave them the Enrollment Key in class today.  If you need to know what it is, please e-mail me.

Today in class we discussed and almost completed our section on Judaism.  Tomorrow we will continue with Buddhism.

Students need to complete their reading notes for chapter 9 by tomorrow.  We will work on the processing in class tomorrow (except for 2nd hour, they need to do the processing for homework), so they don’t need to finish that tonight.

All role plays are done (except 1) and grades are in parent connect.
