The games begin!! As the new semester is off to a fresh start I wanted to inform you all of the semesters competition amongst my classes. Located in the class room will be a running tally of students grades, anonymously, for each and every student as well as a class average. At the end of the semester the class(es) that has the highest class average will get to decide between a movie ice cream/pizza party.
