Good Luck on your Regents Exams!

Don't forget to review for your Math and Living Environment Exams. If you have any additional review questions, check out my other blog (ESL) where I have the RegentsPrep Links. If you have an urgent question and cannot get in touch with your science/math teacher, please, feel free to email me. I'll try to help you in any way I can.

It was a pleasure to teach this class. You guys are great! Brandon deserves a special praise for earning an Honors credit. Way to go, Brandon. You wrote an excellent paper. Please, post it on your blog, so others can read it, too.

Have a great summer, kids! Don't forget to read!

Sincerely yours, Sakhno
