Welcome to Mr. Howe's Class Blog

Welcome to Mr. Howe's Class Blog!

This is the place where I'll post assignments and class notices.

Here's a few guidelines:

* While I'll try to keep this current, whatever is announced in class supercedes this site. Pay attention in class!

* If you have a question or feedback about an assignment, feel free to leave a comment.

* Remember while posting that you're posting on a school-related, public forum. Keep the language and topics appropriate or you will be banned.
