Sorry to tell you, guys, but Aladdin had it all wrong... there's no genie in that lamp. There never was. There's no pixie dust, fairy godmother, three wishes way to get through learning - just hard work.
- BUT - There are ways to make it easier. This is one of them. This page is dedicated to student resources that can help you understand what we talk about in class better, or even easier, and help you remember both material and concepts so you can use them not just in my class but your others and hopefully later on after you graduate. Everything on this page is for all of my students and is not separated by grade level. For grade/class appropriate materials look in either the 7th or 8th grade tabs. Enjoy! |
