Welcome

Welcome to High School. The transition from middle school to the high school can be an intimidating one so I've set up this blog to help make the process (at least for biology) a little easier. Hopefully this blog will help you organize yourself in terms of note-taking, organizing home-work, and watching helpful video clips I post for you. You will be expected to check this blog every night. Why? The powerpoints given in class will be posted on this blog site, so you should bring them to class to help you with your note-taking. Also, the calendar will help you keep track of the assignments you have. I look forward to a fun and exiting year.
