Welcome to Avenues: The World School and History/Humanities 8! This is a fun homework blog that will contain student-friendly posts with information about homework and classwork. You can still consult the official school website at Avenuesnyc.org and iTunesU, where I will upload documents. However, I hope this will help you see what you need more clearly for classwork each day....besides, you can feed the fish! -- Ms. Allen
