Homework and other matters:

I enjoyed welcoming you all to school!  New students and familiar ones grouped together and did the kind of work we will do all year.  Our first classes went well and I enjoyed introducing you to both courses.  I gave you as best as I could  an idea of what the courses entail as well as some of the processes we will be using to learn.  Some of the material is based on what you already know but stretches your learning beyond that into new and interesting areas of knowledge.

 

This blog will have your daily assignments as well as the book list and any other useful material you may need along the way.
