New class website

Any student who wishes my help is more than welcome to spend twenty minutes after school working with me in this area. Report cards go home March 6th!


The three spaceships in our class, named Discovery, Starship and Galaxy Hunter contain a group of students; each one responsible for different needs on board their ship. More news to follow.
