Parents:

Welcome to my blog for Psychology. I update my blog after each class. My goals are to have students use this site to find out what they missed when absent and to let you know what we are doing in class.

2nd Semester is off to a great start. Communicating with you is also very important. Please make sure that I know the best way to communicate with you. We are getting ready to start our first unit, an introduction to psychology. We will also be studying about theories of learning and personality, memory, altered states of consciousness, and psychological disorders.

All missing work for the last six weeks is due by 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 9th.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. You can either email me at connolly_caryn@salkeiz.k12.or.us or call me at 399-3261.
