Who is this Mr. McShane guy anyway?
I graduated from the University of Missouri in 1999 with a Bachelor's degree in General Science. I have lived in Dallas since 2001. I love to figure-out how things work. My hobby is playing guitar.
I am always happy to answer homework questions or questions about school, and the best way to ask them away from school is by email: mikemcshane@hotmail.com
You can also call me during my conference period (1:30pm - 3:00 pm) @ 555-1234 ext 101.
Forgot to write-down the homework, eh?
Monday, 8/27 - Read pp. 14-26 in Texas Science, then answer questions on p.27 (1-12)all. Be sure to use complete sentences!
Thursday, 8/30 - Create a homemade Widget using a milk jug, 4 ball bearings, 10 lb. test fishing line and a 1978 Monte Carlo door handle.

Ok, these aren't really educational websites, but they won't get you in trouble either, unless you're grounded from the computer. (What are you doing here anyway?!?)
