New notetaking method
From this blog, you will be able to print out current and past copies of fill in the blank sheets to use in the classroom for notetaking. Hopefully, this will help both of us by allowing you to fill in key words rather than copying entire slides into your notebook. You will need a folder in which to keep your notes in order. You will also still need a composition book in which to keep your warmups.
The material will be located here for you to print out and BRING to class. If you do not have your notes in class you WILL be expected to copy them in their entirety.
This should allow us to move faster through our material and better prepare you for the CRCT tests.
