Welcome back!  It's going to be a great year!

I will attempt to do my best to update this blog in a timely manner so that students and parents/guardians will have an idea of what is to come for the week in the Agriculture classes but, keep in mind that my lesson plans are tentative.  :)  We will continue on in class as students are able and sometimes that may be quicker than anticipated or slower than anticipated based on class population.  We are all different!  We learn at different paces!  The important thing to me is understanding.  So, please be patient with my blog...thank you!
