My Expectations for You! Why? Because I believe in you! I know you are ALL smart. You can do anything you try. “I can’t” is the acronym for “I Completely Admit I’m Not Trying.”

This year…NO EXCUSES! It is science, but not rocket science! I believe you all have the capacity to perform your best every day and expect no less.

What are Procedures? Procedures are a plan for success. Procedures are put in place for our classroom so you will know what is expected of you on a daily basis. This will allow us to focus all of our attention on the wonderful world of science!
