School year 2015-2016

Are you as excited as I am for school to start? We are going to have a fun year as we learn about computers and what we create with them. Please take a look at the 1st semester assignments and what your grade level will be creating as their signature assignment. Don't worry I will teach you and give you all the tools that you need to complete your assignments successfully. But, remember to be original and use your own work. No cheating or copying text word for word. I'm help to guide you, educate, support and encourage you. My door is always open! Feel free to stop by and ask a question, get help or just to say hi.
