Welcome to my web page! In addition to information concerning my class activities, I also like to include web links which may be of interest to some of my students and their families. I have recently updated the calendar and will make a point of including all homework assignments in future updates (Sometimes with specific instructions, so "click" on them!!), so please check back every other day or so (or even more often if you wish)! If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me via email or telephone (754-323-3232 is the 7th Grade Center phone number).
