The first day of school went by so fast. I enjoyed meeting all the new students I have in Biology. ABC and A&P are students that I have taught before in the last two years. Today all classes went over the student handbook. All students should have a copy of the syllubus by today or tomorrow ( depending on if we ran out of time today). A copy can also be printed out from this web page. Tomorrow we are going to do some getting to know you activities. This helps me to get to know faces and names.
