Welcome to 8th grade science!  

I have been teaching 8th grade science at RMS since 2018.  Prior to joining the Roosevelt family, I taught middle school for 15 years and am excited to continue to share my love of math and science with your children!  I graduated from Central Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and a Master of Science degree in Middle Level Education.  I also run the RMS Garden Club and the Environmental Club and invite all of our community members to join us in composting and gardening in the space behind RMS.  

The 8th grade science curriculum covers portions of life, physical, and Earth science and is designed to help prepare your children for high school, while learning about current events and the world around us.  Grading policies, assignments, and tools for organization can be found in our Google Classroom.
