WELCOME 2009-2010 AP PSYCH-OS!

Hello and Welcome to AP Psychology at Los Alamos High School!

I am honored to be your teacher for this school year and I look forward to getting to know you. You have selected a challenging and extremely interesting elective as an upperclassmen. My expectations are high and I assume yours are too. Let's make the most of our year together and have fun as we examine human behavior from a scientific perspective.

The goal of this blog is to help you stay connected to psychology beyond class. I'll post our daily class activities and the assignments. I will also try to provide links to other great websites that will help you learn more. Please bookmark it and check it out daily. The more you review, the more you talk about psychology, the more you remember, the more you'll learn, and the better you do on the test.

If you are absent, you'll always know what we did that day and what assignments you need to get done. If you came to class but forgot your agenda, you also can double-check that you got all the assignments. If you would like to review what you've learned before a test, you can look at the recent posts.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow morning when we meet! I hope you are getting lots of sleep. If not, you might want to read ahead to chapter 7 on consciousness and see why sleep is so important. Or visit the American Psychological Association's article
"Why Sleep is Important and What Happens When You Don't Get Enough"
