Welcome Students!
I am so glad that you are here looking at my website. I have tried to include several websites that I think you will find helpful in the classroom. If throughout the course you come across more websites that you think will be helpful, feel free to suggest them to me so I can add them to the website. Do not forget to check out the Classroom Recap page to find out what we did today in class or if you have any homework. Also glance at the Student Work page and see what other people in your school have been working on.
