WHICH CLASS ARE YOU IN THIS YEAR?!

Course:  Science-7

Where:  Kempsville Middle, Room 138

Overview:

So the class is 'Life Science-7'  The basis for the class is/are materials/curriculum that will support the student in high school perhaps as they venture into classes like 'Biology'.  One of my objectives has always been to help the students see their learning as relevant and fun.  I feel very strongly that my teaching has to be motivational.  I emphasize responsibility and accountability; I stress choices and consequences everyday.  Students must take responsibility for their learning; it is my job to see that they want to learn.  At the same time I don’t want my students working for me, I want them working with me, as well as each other.  I can learn too, so I hope they will teach me something everyday.  I look forward to your support, and I look forward to talking with you soon.
