Welcome to your S1 Geography Class Blog

Dear Students,

Welcome to our class blog!

As we move into the second term of the school year, I am very excited to launch our new S1 geography class blog.  This blog will help us to learn more about our next topic "Farming in China".

I will be using this blog to post important videos, information, resources and updates that you will need to watch or read when you are at home and before geography classes.  Please save or bookmark the link address: http://raimondigeography.blogspot.hk.
 
I will also use this blog to share fun facts or ideas to keep learning fun and interesting.

If you have any questions or need to contact me, you can reach me at email elee@raimondi.edu.hk or speak to me during class time.  I look forward to the next term and I hope you do, too.  Happy learning!

From,
Dr. Eddy Lee
