Welcome, Ms. Taylor's LSN Government Classes

Hello my Fabulous Fairmont students,

We are three weeks into school and we've already made great strides toward our Big Goals of 80% Mastery and 100% passing of the HSA! I'm so proud of the work you've done but know I expect more from every one of you, every day.

Mr White has set up this amazing BLOG for LSN government that our class will also use. I will post my lectures on the podomatic podcast. Mr White will also post his. On the web site are also posted the powerpoints that include the slide with the homework assignment. The classwork will also be posted.

If you miss class, you will be required to go to the blog, listen to the lecture, watch the powerpoint presentation and complete the classwork and homework. The assignment should come back to class when you return.
