Welcome to Mr. Wahlstrom's science class agenda page.
Each day, I will post my lesson plan on this page
including the homework and other relevant notes.
Because I teach from this page in class, students
and parents are encouraged to review it regularly
for homework, updates on what's going on in class,
and as a tool to keep in touch if illness strikes...
From time to time I will edit out older work and save it in the "Class Agenda
and Homework Archive" located in the handout folder. Look for it there.
