Welcome to Sociology Sessions

Hello Students!

This will act as a nice gathering place for us throughout the year.  I will be posting daily activities, projects, updates on community service and a hodge podge of other resources for our class.  It will also act as an conduit to connect your blog to my blog and to your classmates blogs.  You will be directed to this site throughout the year so I would make sure to bookmark it for easy access.  Holler.
