So given that, all you need to do is work hard and you actually might learn something! Let's have a great year! - Mr. Taylor Required Materials Each student needs: A notebook to take notes in class, answer homework questions, and to receive materials we will use in class. It must be kept in a clear, legible, and easy to understand, organized manner. Beyond that, there is no reward for the "prettiest", "most beautiful" notebooks. Just have the "right stuff". This would include assignments, homework, and/or any other work given in class. Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions? Password: Forgot your password?
