Trying Apex

Today we will try to get you all started on CAHSEE Apex. I will need to add you to the class and look up your login info if you don't know it already. Please be patient and donate some rice if you are waiting.

Thursday

Are you getting used to having a computer and using google docs? Tell me more about yourself by filling out the student data form.
Then go to your CAHSEE journal and write about your favorite celebrity. Don't spend a lot of time deciding who to write about. Just pick the first famous name that pops into your head and write what you know about them.

Back row assignment: Write me a journal entry about the work you are doing in one of your other classes.

Wednesday

Second Semester

Welcome to second semester,
This semester we will be using this blog much more to prepare for the CAHSEE together. Please come here first everyday to see what you are supposed to do. If you are absent check the blog to see what you missed.
Your first assignment is to get a g-mail account that is as close as possible to your real name. You will use this to communicate with me and also to access Google Documents.
