Day 1: Morning Classes

Illustrating a logical fallacy in Science I (each student was given puzzle pieces and told to become an expert on them, here they are putting them all together, when the goal of the exercise was actually to remember which four pieces you had) and Aiden Manuel working on his self portrait for his Letter of Introduction in English Composition.

One of the best parts of the program
