Agenda
Welcome back everyone! It is great to be able to get back in the classroom with you guys next week! I am looking forward to teaching Economics and Financial Literacy this school year. I am in room 412 now with the Career Tech folks. I am in the process of setting everything up but am currently working on adding information to this website and getting a rolling agenda going to keep everyone all on the same page. Use the menu bar to navigate through the different items in this site. I will be gradually adding information and resources for each of the units of study and for preparation for the EOCT. See you soon! Ms. Keilman
