This is <em>what</em> will be taught and though much of the curriculum is only accessible to teachers, the link will give you a general idea of what is being taught.<br /><br />If you have any other questions at any time during the year, please e-mail me at<br /><a href="mailto:kevin.morrissey@rcsdk12.org">kevin.morrissey@rcsdk12.org</a>.<br /><br /><br />I look forward to an inspiring year of teaching.<br /><br />Kevin Morrissey<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9132978029406750268-8212099434621152888?l=mrmorrissey.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mr. Morrisseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04394359280859960006noreply@blogger.com0
