Blog Info

Just a few quick points about using this blog...

1. If you sign up to receive updates on the blog via email, you will receive notifications of posts to the Main Page (such as this one). For all other information you will need to visit the Blog.

2. Homework will now be posted under the "Homework" tab at the top of the page. It will not be on the Main Page of the blog, and you will therefore not receive homework updates by email.

3. A new tab has been added -- "See Our Students". I will update this section with photos from the classroom.
