Greetings, Haslett Students & Families! I am grateful as I anticipate teaching my 17th year here at Haslett High School. I have predominantly taught Biology to 9th and 10th grade students during my time here at HHS. I have also taught Anatomy and Physiology to 11th and 12th graders and Physical Science, most recently to 9th graders. I love the variety of science content I teach, as well as the variety of grade levels.
I am also one of the class advisors for the recent Class of 2020 graduates. We work with Student Council members in planning memorable events such as homecoming, talent shows, prom, & finally graduation! You do not need to be in Student Council to provide suggestions or feedback, so please do not hesitate to get involved!
My classroom (Room 623) is the host room for Beyond. Beyond is a student-led, faith-based group that meets on Tuesday mornings in my room at 7:15. Bagels and student fellowship occur each week here. Please see me, should you have questions or just drop in to check things out! We're a rather large and diverse group, so chances are good that you will recognize a friend and connect with new ones too!
Please refer to my Google Classroom to find daily agendas, homework and important upcoming events in my classes!
Classroom Supplies
Traditional school supplies
Much of your work will be done on the computer, but you’ll still want items such as pens, pencils, highlighters, binders, and notebook paper on hand.
A Notebook/Folder/Binder
● Yes, you can still color-coordinate your binders and notebooks! Even though you are learning online, you will need to take notes throughout each course. Stay organized by separating notes for each course you are taking so you can easily find the notes that you need for your upcoming tests and assignments.
● Binders are highly recommended for Anatomy and AP Biology
Markers/Highlighters/Colored Pencils
● Both thick and thin are helpful. You can underline/annotate with the fine tip and highlight important sections with the chisel tip. We do a lot of modeling and making our thinking visible. Even though we are online for discussions and learning, you may still find it beneficial to do these kinesthetic activities with traditional pen and paper.
● 24 Count Colored Pencils are required for Anatomy Pencils/Pens/Erasers
● Whether you are jotting down information during a lecture, taking notes during a video, or completing assignments offline … you can never have enough writing utensils😎
Class Contacts Page
● If by chance, your internet goes out and you can’t get online, having a few class contacts you can call upon will help you to stay up to date with the classroom activities. This contact list will also come in handy when doing group assignments or projects.
Textbook
● Biology: will be utilizing online text resources (such as OpenStax and CK-12).
● Physical Science: will be utilizing online text resources
