Hello Everyone!
Welcome back. I hope you all made the most of your time off with family and friends.
We are back to work for 3 weeks. Winter Break starts on 12/19 at 3:20 pm so make the most of your time while you are here. Keep up with your work, get the help you need, and finish this year with nothing left undone. That is a proactive way of thinking.
Are we having a Winter Holiday Party? In your classes, discuss if you would like to do something special with your class on Thursday, 12/18. I'm thinking Secret Santa, Pot Luck, White Elephant Gift Exchange, or something else.
What's Up for December!
