Dear Families,
It's been a wonderful year! I'm impressed with how far we have come - and although rushed in the end, we DID make it through the textbook, thanks to your diligent efforts at home. I've enjoyed teaching and learning with our students, and am looking forward to seeing everyone around campus next year as 7th graders! Students: A few of you have asked in class what percent of the grade the final ended up being - depending on your points possible. At most, the final was worth 15.6%; for students with many possible points, it was worth up to 13.6% of the course grade. Also, In case you find yourself feeling "bored" in a week from now (or before our short summer ends), check out the links to the left. Some students have already discovered the online open heart surgery games that I've posted links to in past years (do a search of the site for those). You could get ahead on the 7th grade material (it's biology - cell, genetics & DNA, human body and much more), the textbook publishers link: http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/007874184x/ maybe even check out the 7th grade science teachers websites (Mr. Ross, Mrs. Fortino, & Mrs. Witt). Enjoy your summer.

By the way: If you find yourself in August looking for something to do, send me an email. I'll be looking for a few volunteers the week before school starts to help set up the classroom. Thank you in advance!
