Today marks the start of the 2009-2010 school year. It was a pleasure meeting all of my new students and I look forward to working with them.
For the time being, I will be at home with my son for the next 7 days. I will not be making any daily updates since I will not be in the classroom. My substitute teacher, Mr. G, has worked with the Conrad Schools of Science on many occasions and has taken over my classes. He has plenty of materials so that the students can get off to a strong start. I will be returning to my position full time on Monday, September 14th.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me using the address listed above.
