Welcome to my class this year. 1/2 of you are new and other 1/2 are returning to my classes! I am looking forward to an exciting year and am trying to do everything I can to prepare for your return. During the year be sure to keep an eye on this blog and use it to check homework and to take advantage of links etc. that I have posted. These are occasionally updated through the year.

Be sure to ask me if you need extra help or support in any way.
