We are now studying Unit #3, Ecology.

I am pleased to announce that we will have a student teacher for the remainder of the school year. Mrs. Blockburger is earning her Master's in Education through the U of A.

She will initially be working with 3rd and 4th periods for this second quarter. As the school yesr continues, her duties will expand into other classes.

Here is a list of supplies you'll need at the begining of school:
Must have-
• A 3-ring notebook -this may have dividers and include other classes, and brought to class each day.
• Another 3-ring notebook – This is kept at home and will be brought to school on a few occasions and will be your portfolio of your school work all year.
• A Composition book This will be your science journal and is essential in science class, and is needed every day and will be inspected twice per quarter.
• Dark blue or black Pen. - No jelly pens or light colors, please.
• Pencil and eraser -mechanical pencils OK

Nice to have-
• Colored pencils
• 3-hole pouch for supplies
• Colored highlighters
• Metric ruler
• Cover for composition book
• Student scissors
