Welcome!

Welcome students (my geeks and peeps!) and parents to what I envision to be a very interactive blog site! My goal for this site is to have it grow into the main tool of communication between all of us. I will be posting videos, notes, assignments, homework, links and MUCH MORE:) The objectives on the site are aligned with the TEKS Objectives that we are covering in the classroom.

Please check daily for updates and email me anytime with questions or concerns!

Happy Trails!

How to Use this Blog

HOW TO USE THIS BLOG:
Since I teach both Biology and Chemistry, I have separated the courses into two different pages within the blog. You will find video content, notes and attachments on the HOME page and TEKS Standard correlations, assignments or instructions on the SUBJECT AREA pages. So be sure to check both!
