Welcome Back!!

I hope you all had a great Spring Break. I received an email from Mr. Dominguez stating there were 52 days of school left! Wow! I knew we were coming to fourth quarter, but didn't realize how few days we have left.

Let's get grades up and pass this class. This week is practice for the STAAR test (or SAT, or whatever test you are taking). The concept is the same for all. This is a good grade to start this quarter off. Please do the work each day in class, and get the grade.

Next week we will begin research. I think you will like the research project.

Let's all adjust to being back in school, and bring grades up or keep them up.
