Hello to all my students! I am the new 7th and 8th science teacher, and will teach some 6th grade Math, as well. I am enjoying getting to know everyone, and appreciate your patience while I learn all your names. I feel fortunate to have such a welcoming, intelligent, and enthusiastic group of students to work with. Our science journey is going to be fascinating.

As the school year gets underway, you can come to this blog for assignment reminders, links to some materials we viewed in class, and other helpful items. For example, here is the link for "The Scale of Everything". http://htwins.net/scale2/ (It will only work if you have current flash updates.) Show your parents; I think they would enjoy it as much as you all did in class. See you soon.

Dr. E. Harnois
