Welcome to Mr. Maltais' blog. I will try to post what is going on in class as well as homework/assignments on my blog daily. It is a great way to be sure you haven't forgotten to write anything in your agenda. On the right hand side of this page, there is a link to my wikispace where I often place copies of assignments. Sometimes when you are sick or you forget your assignment at school, you can find it there. You can also email me to ask for a specific assignment and I can post it as soon as possible.
