This Week in AP BIO Aug 3-7
Dear Parents and students,
We had a wonderful first 2 days! It was such a pleasure to see all the students. We have a great group of students this year and I am excited to see them grow. This is going to be a very fast paced class. Your students will learn to speed read and gather important information from text. They will also be exploring practice questions associated with the final test. They should only be spending 30 minutes each night on this class at home. If you find they take more time than this, please encourage them to slow down.
