ADDITIONAL NOTES

 We have provided activities and notes as a reference point as well as a guide to make the transition to the new curriculum smoother for everyone. Please feel free to adjust them to fit your student’s needs.

 We have worked very hard to check for duplicates, spelling errors and bad websites. However, things happen and we are human.  It is recommended to follow the blueprint as stated during the field test year. A mid-term exam will be given to evaluate assessment as well as curriculum pieces so you will need to have covered the tested materials.
