Herr Smolinski's German Overview
2003 End of Year Tentative Schedule!!!
MMS - German 1
As a class, we have a stated goal to reach the end of Chapter 9 in preparation to make the next step to German 1B. I apologize in advance for the quick pace of the last two chapters, but I have no control over the number of snow days and assemblies that take away form class time. Your cooperation is needed to move at a steady pace with responsible maturity. Do your work in and out of class and prepare for the tests and you will do well. A lack of effort and attention will catch up with you in these last weeks. Take pride in your performance!!

NASH - German 3
As a class, we have a stated goal to reach the end of Chapter 1 in preparation to make the next step to (H) Senior German. I apologize in advance for the quick pace of the last two chapters, but this is the first time I have taught this course and therefore I incorrectly paced our work through the book. Your cooperation is needed to move at a steady pace with responsible maturity. Do your work in and out of class and prepare for the tests and you will do well. A lack of effort and attention will catch up with you in these last weeks. Take pride in your performance!!
