What's Loyalty Got to Do With It?

To start things off, there's a little housekeeping issue.  If you would like to get "Remind" notices, click on the photo to get the download instructions to be part of the list.  Any reminders for projects and deadlines, as well as to let you know when the new blog will be posted will be on that site.  

As well, you can download the Google Classroom app if you would like (it's free on iTunes, so I would think that it would also be free for Android phones).  The benefit to the app is that you do not have to log in time and time again to get access to the classrooms; you log in once and you're set - or so I've been informed...On to what we are learning this week!
