Classes

Here is a basic overview of all the classes I teach throughout the year. All students are given access to the course materials through their school email. They can access all the materials through the school devices or all google products can be accessed anywhere there is internet. Students can also make google resources available offline so the resource can be viewed on their devices without internet access.
