Welcome to Seventh Grade Science in Room 25! I am Mrs. Guerin.
This year we will be studying all about Ecology, Heredity and Evolution. We
are going to have a great year.
Throughout the year, you will be able to access what is happening in Science
class through this Teacherweb site.
This is the spot to check for homework assignments, projects, journal
questions, scheduled tests and due dates. It will also be the spot for you to
find what happened in class on a daily basis. This will be useful should you
be absent.
Today we reviewed the Science Welcome Letter and the classroom safety
contract. We also went over the supplies that are needed for Science.
