Good morning, everyone.
We will get started at 8:30
Hopefully we will be
back in-class on Monday. We are supposed to be back. Things can change.
Registration
began earlier this week. I gave you your interim recs earlier this week.
For
Third Quarter (February-April) term, I will be teaching the same classes as
this quarter.
Period
1 8:30am English Foundations 5/6,
Writing 567
Period
2 11:00am English Foundations 3/4,
Composition 34
If
you take my EF56 class again, it will be very much the same. Some things will
be different, but a lot of it will be the same. Some people like the
repetition. You can choose a different time slot and teacher if you want.
Please
turn your cameras on so I know you are really here.
If
your camera is off and you are not talking, I think that you are not here.
This
is a time of uncertainty. Don’t be too discouraged. Just continue moving
forward. Forge ahead. Be brave.
