Mrs. Natale's Classes - 2012 - 2013

Welcome to all of you.  This blog will be used for  homework assignments that require more independent thinking.  Usually they will involve discussion type questions where you will be required to think rather than paraphrase the information already stated in the text.
In addition, when there is no school due to snow, assignments for all classes will be posted here.  You will be required to check my blog at that time to complete your assignments which will be due on the day you return to school.

I hope all of you had a wonderful, eventful summer.  I look forward to working with all of you this school year to help you become the best you can be.
