All rules aside, this is going to be a great year and a great class… if you invest the time and effort. I love to do fun games and discussions and activites that get you up and moving. I also want to give you lots of opportunities to work with each other. But this can only happen if you all participate and follow directions. So this can be a year of growth and fun or a year of misery for us all. The choice is yours.
