What+should+I+do+over+the+summer?



Welcome to the summer! __And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer. ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby__

Thank you so much for looking into what you can do to really get a head start for the 2015-2016 school year. In all classes there is a high expectation of organizing all the classes you have for the new school year. This will allow you to practice and get into a habit of how the rest of the school year will look like.

 Here you will find all you need for your summer work in either the Academic success classes or your Financial Algebra class and the instruction in which I would like you to complete each daily assignment.
 * NEW ASSIGNMENT This will be highlighted in yellow  so that you are are seeing that you have a new task to complete.
 * For summer purposes: a chore to complete, a trip that you will be going on, a task that needs to be completed by a certain date/time.
