Welcome to the AP IB blog.

We want to create an electronic conversation about what is happening in science class.

My name is Mr. Abshire (Mr. A) and I will be your teacher for this year.

I will use this space to interact with you as we learn about AP and IB biology.

Please remember to be polite, add your name to your blog comments and remember that what you write will be read by other people at ACHS.

Again, welcome! Mr. Doug Abshire 303-853-7786

PS please read the following before posting!
