Transcript of September 18, 2014 Welcome to Mrs. Jacob’s 8 th Grade Science Classroom!
• The goals for Back-to-School Night:– To help you understand the work your child will be doing throughout the school
year.
– To explain student expectations
– To share information about how you can support your child’s learning.
• I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, and socially. As an educator, I desire to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas.
• I understand that each student may have a different learning style, and I hope to give the children the tools they need to be successful.
• I will incorporate projects, group work, individual work, and hands-on learning in order to make students active learners.
