Lesson Recordings/Seminars
There are recordings done by myself or Mrs. Goforth for every lesson in your course. The recordings are intended to explain the information in the lessons in a different way to help you understand the content. The following Google Doc contains the recordings. Please use the recordings as you need them. If you are stuck on a lesson, check out the recording.

Once a month, we will have a live seminar. I will email you information about the time and place of the seminar in advance so you can plan accordingly. These seminars will be very important for your to attend and will be counted as Extra Credit!
The Seminars will be in one of the following classrooms:
Mrs. Ackerman’s Classroom: http://tinyurl.com/AckermanClassroom
Mrs. Goforth’s Classroom: http://tinyurl.com/GoforthClassroom
First and third quarters will be in Mrs. Ackerman's classroom and second and fourth quarters will be in Mrs. Goforth's classroom. Don't worry. I will remind you of this many, many times.
