Farewell BLOG...thank you for everything...

"Making mistakes are okay, as long as you learn from them..."

Dear Students,

This blog will no longer be used starting today. I am now using a new blog, here is the link:

http://contiga.edublogs.org/

The new blog allows you to download any files that I attach to a message (for example, if you are away and need a copy of the debate template, you can easily click on the link and either open/save that file into your own computer.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported this blog (past and present students). It served a great purpose and I hope the new one will do the same, I know it will.

Sincerely, Mr. Contiga

If you are having difficulty with some of the concepts or if you just want to make sure you're doing things right, click on the link and then click on your grade. The website is awesome, simply click on the topic you are having trouble with and then go from there. Thanks.
