Hey Students,
I'm really sick so class is cancelled, Ill put together an exam study sheet that is comprehensive so that you know what to study- if you have any questions email me.

the exam will be next week, on 3/3, as we discussed in class.

If the school is open- I have to hold class.

Life Span 2-6-14

Today we will cover  chapter 5 and start Chapter 6.
next week we will finish chapter 6 and Start chapter 7.

The reason why it's broken up like this is because we are introducing and covering attachment, which is an important concept that may take a couple classes to fully explain.
