Connecticut Questions
The other day we wrote questions about what I need to learn before I move to Connecticut. I looked at the questions and organized them a little bit. There are now 15 categories. For each category I listed the kinds of information you should find. If you find more that applies to your category, great! More is almost always better!
As you find the information for your category, please clip it into your Google notebook so you can keep track of it. You will use your notebooks later to write a summary of what you found.
