Welcome to our class.  Ms. Kristen and I teach an 8:1: class of 6th and 7th graders.  There is usually quite a variety of learning styles and ability levels.  We start each year engaging the students in creating a set of classroom rules and personal goals.  I look forward to initiating a new behavior modification program in the fall.  The students have a core curriculum consisting of ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies.  They also attend special area classes such as music, art, computer,gym and technology.
