Welcome!

I hope that you had a good Christmas and New Year. If you have forgotten some of your English, don't worry. I'm sure that you'll "recover" quickly.

If you have questions during the semester, you can ask me at school or email them to me:

dratzlaff@coastline.edu

Homework for Thursday:
1. Buy your books, although the Coastline Bookstore may not have Interactions 2 Reading yet.
2. Fill out the Information page.
