Daily Work
I will do my best to post a weekly or daily breakdown of your students Agenda (the things we do in Comm Arts each day). Myself, as well as Mrs. Huffman, Mr. Gann and Mr. Cline all require students to fill out a daily Agenda. If you are ever curious about what your child is doing in class, check their Agenda! Often you can find answers to your questions there. 
**UPDATE: On the main page of this blog in the upper left corner there is a small button for "files." Clicking on this button will take you to files we may have used in class. ALL files will be uploaded beginning with the date of class that we used the file and then the name of the file. If your student is absent there is a good chance they can print and complete assignments at home with access to this cool feature. Due to data capacity restrictions on my blog, assignments will be removed after 2-3 weeks to allow room for new assignments!
