Second Semester Plan

Each day of second semester, Mr. Pate will post the lesson activities that occurred. If you miss class due to illness, emergency or school activity and you need to find out what you missed, by looking at this blog you will see what needs to be made up. You can write down what you need, and then come ask Mr. Pate specifically for it. If the class took notes, you can ask a friend for their notes, etc.
