I would like to take a moment to welcome everyone to the 2009-2010 school year, to RMS Team 8C, and to my 8th grade Social Studies class. I hope throughout the year we can use this space to openly talk about what goes on in the classroom and in the world around us. I would like for this to be an open forum for me to talk about what goes on from my point of view and for parents and students to talk about things from their point of view. I think that this will be a wonderful year and many great things will happen if we all work together for the success of everyone in the classroom. I will update this as often as possible. I look forward to meeting you within the walls of the classroom and in the contexts of our community.
