Welcome Back Students and Parents! I am looking forward to a great year with you all! This year, we will be studying scientific inquiry, matter, ecology, electricity, and astronomy. Students can expect to get homework on a daily basis. There will also be 1-2 tests per quarter. Classes will consist of warm-ups and activities including: reading, labs, hands-on activities, note taking, group work, and group presentations. Grades will be generated using a point system. You may check your grade on www.webgrader.com. Grades will be updated weekly. You may also use webgrader to check daily homework assignments. Think about this quote throughout this school year, "You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt
