Baby McCarthy has decided to arrive early (but hasn't arrived yet as I write this)! Below are the important parts of the lesson plans I'm leaving for the substitute teacher. Please give them all the help you can, especially with technical issues related to the iPad and the Smartboard. I'll be back to school sometime next week!
