Welcome to 8th Grade Science!!!

Welcome to Team 8B! I am so excited to have each and every one of you in my science class. For some of you this will be our second year together, and for others we will just be meeting for the first time tomorrow. Either way, I know that a great year lies ahead for all of us!!! I have so many exciting lessons and labs planned for us to explore in class, and as a team, 8B has many fun field trips and activities in the works for this school year!!! I just can't wait to get started!

This blog is a great tool for you (and your parents!) to use to stay organized, and on top of class assignments, homework and other other important Team 8B events that might be going on. When I write my blog I write as though I am speaking to my students, however I encourage parents to check in on here regularly as well. This will help us all work together to ensure the best possible year for everyone!
Again....welcome and I will see you in class tomorrow!
