Welcome to 3rd Tri

Welcome to third trimester.
Yesterday we all took a pretest for biology B. Thank you to those of you who took this seriously and tried your best.

Today we will be working on our social contract and beginning to discuss the genetics unit vocab and objectives.

I have not yet collected all of the text books from last trimester, so you will not receive your book until tomorrow or possibly Monday.
