Welcome to my blog!  I'll be teaching both 6th and 7th grade this year.  Some of you may be confused that my link to the school webpage shows that I am teaching 6th Grade, but it will be updated soon!  

It was great to meet most of my homeroom students today, and we got a good start on the school year. If you're in my homeroom, make sure that, on Monday, you bring in a one-subject notebook just for science.

I'm looking forward to meeting all of my new students! 

Parents: watch this space for updates.  Almost every day for the last several years, I have used this blog to let students (and parents) know their homework assignments.  There are also announcements about upcoming school events and educational opportunities such as sign ups for Remind (formerly Remind101).  So you may want to bookmark this page just to check what homework your child is doing for my science class.  Parents, I look forward to meeting you or seeing you again at the Open Schools Night scheduled in the next 6 weeks. I hope to have 100% of my students' caregivers attend Open Schools night this year!

If you can think of any suggestions that will make it possible for you to attend, please let me know.  

Meanwhile, please sign up for www.Remind.com to have 1-way text message reminders of important class events (such as notification of field trip permission slips, progress report or report card releases, upcoming tests or projects) and selected school events.
This is where I'll soon have information for how to sign up for my Remind texts.

Have a great weekend!    Use your cell phone to dial (203) 684-5174.  If your student is in my:
