Homework for this week (11/3-11/7)

I am excited to be back here at Concord...it's fun to see everyone again after an extended summer break! Hopefully the transition won't be too hard on the students (or me!) I am working to finish up a few units that Mrs. Kiser had started, but most grades will start new material with me in the next few weeks.

I will be holding Fall conferences in the coming weeks as well, look for a schedule out soon. In the mean time, if you have any questions or concerns that you would like to discuss, you can send me an email at eriplasch@edina.k12.mn.us or call at 952.848.4342.
