Welcome

Using this site:

Class Information includes syllabus and FAQs.
Digital Assignments will be in Google Classroom.
Grades will be available on Aeries.
Table of Contents for the notebook is located on the Science page.
Worksheets will be available on the Science pages.

Notebooks are collected on Friday.

Please check that notebooks are complete Thursday. Make sure the work is done and organized. The table of contents for the notebook is here.

There is little direct homework assigned. Most work homework is classwork that students need to finish. Students who need additional assistance should schedule a tutoring session, usually after school.

Also, students must have their supplies every day. If they attend class without their science Notebook, they are unable to complete their classwork. Please see the supplies list to be prepared everyday.

Educational Background:

I have a Bachelor's degree in Life Science and Psychology. I have a minor in Anthropology and Physical Science. I have a Master's degree in Educational Technology and authorizations for teaching computer applications and Earth Science. I am also GATE and CLAD certified.

I have been teaching middle school science since 1993. I have taught at Rio Tierra JHS, Foothill Farms JHS, Village K-8, Kohler K-8, and Smythe Middle School. I have taught science, AVID, and MESA classes.

I am continuously working on improving my skills and educational practices. Here are some of the more recent badges I have earned as I continue my training as an educator.

Why this website?

I use the website in order to keep resources available as much as possible. Rather than having materials locked behind a login wall, all of my materials are available on my website to facilitate easy access for students and their families. Please note that I must keep copyrighted material secure in Google Classroom or to a Twin Rivers account.

And I love cats!
