Aaaand We're Back!

Thankful to be here?  Yes!  We're heading into the season of weirdness--testing and breaks and caroling and stuff.  We're actually creepily close to the end of the semester and the First Real Grade.  So, we'll spend this week on some nuts and bolts--grammar? Yes!--and more reading and writing of effective arguments.  To get into the spirit of the season, we'll start with an argument about poverty!  Happy holidays!
