Activities for 3rd week 9/21 - 9/25 - 2009

Orator, attorney, and political leader William Jennings Bryan said, "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." I hope you choose to work hard and work smart in our class. If you need help I will always be here. Remember when you are absent you need to make up your reading time and tests in the morning (7:25 am).
