For 2nd semester, many of you said that you like the Would you rather questions, because they make you think. I will try to incorporate some of the would you rather questions from time to time, but I also plan to ask more riddles, questions asking you how your day is going, you might see some motivational sentences or interesting facts. I might throw a trick question at you or a riddle or did you know question. You will see some polls from time to time and it's important to know that we're all in this together. Mental health is important. If you have any suggestions for things we could do as a class to come together in an online setting, I am in favor of it. Have a great winter break, stay safe, and make good choices.
