Parent Information
I believe that science is an interesting and exciting topic. By getting involved in your child's instruction, you can not only help them be successful, but you may also enjoy learning new material yourself! The more we know about the world around us, the more fascinating it becomes . . .
My goal is to create a classroom environment that will help your child:
-Build a solid science vocabulary
-Gain a strong understanding of key scientific principles and topics
-Learn how to use mathematics to tackle scientific problems
-Find out about the latest technologies
-Learn more about science and our world
-See how science is related to all other disciplines
-Effectively prepare for standardized assessments
-See science as worthwhile and meaningful
-Develop thinking skills, the ability to challenge assumptions, think creatively, and solve real-life problems
-Have fun!!

classroom and into their lives. - Attendance:I would appreciate if you could reinforce attendance. Student need to be in class
everyday. - Homework: Students will be coming home with assignment. Please, ask your child about his/her assignments
and encouraging him/her to complete them.
