7th Grade Science
Hi There!
I am excited to have you join me in our classroom this year. I wanted to give you a little information about me so we can begin our learning together getting to know one another. I have been teaching for a long time! This is my eighteenth year at Bristow and before that I taught in Sonoma County for ten years, so this is my twenty-eighth year of teaching. Of the twenty-eight years all but two have been spent teaching middle school science. I'm married and have a daughter. Mr. Pearson is a scientist in Livermore and our daughter is a United States Marine. My interests are hiking, gardening, reading, writing and learning. I have an Australian Shepard named Lollipop who loves to do Agility classes. Mr. Pearson has two cats (mine too, but I'm really a doggo person) Smudge and Nunu. We love the mountains and anything outdoors. I am looking forward to getting to know you and making this the best year we can together.
The picture above is my She Shed where I do most of my hobbies and a few work things. Mostly it's my getaway at home.
I'm looking forward to a great year with all of you!
You will need access to CLASSLINK - the online portal to student learning. CLASSLINK can be accessed from the link below.
Once in CLASSLINK look for the MY BACKPACK application. This is where you will find everything you need to access your Digital Learning experience at Bristow. Below is a link for instructions on how to do this if needed.
- All assignments are through STEMscopes. I will add assignments, lectures, notes, and study guides on a weekly basis that support STEMscopes assessments.
-
STEMscopes assignments will become live on the days that they are assigned. Each scope’s assignments will be due by the end of the second week. No late work can be accepted after the scope has been completed.
-
CANVAS will also be utilized to turn in work that helps to support our learning.
Please look on the left side of my website for Pearson' Planner - this is where the work that is due for a grade will be posted weekly.
You will receive daily instruction in class during your scheduled period of science.
You will also have an opportunity to get more help if needed before school in Homework Club.
Student progress in science class will be viewed through Parent Portal. Students can also use the Student Connect App in Classlink. Student progress will be updated at minimum every other week. Feedback for student progress is also provided through STEMscopes on the Grades tab. Parent Portal and Student Connect are linked below for your convenience.
