Hello Future STEM Students,
I trust that you have had a wonderful and productive summer filled with fun and games. I have been very busy this summer preparing for this upcoming year. I am very excited for our curriculum this year. We will be learning about:
Weather and Climate
The Earth's Surface
Earth's Waters
Space
Scientific Method
We will be using a lot of online resources this year and you will be using the internet for everything. Make sure that you have internet access and access to technology.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you on the first day of school on September 4, 2014.
I hope the remainder of your summer is filled with fun and games and relaxation.
