New beginnings in the Upper School

While I enjoyed last year, teaching in the middle school, I am very excited to begin this year teaching chemistry in the Upper School.

I will utilize this blog to post homework and other information relevant to class. Access to Moodle, eBackpack, Quia, or other websites may be needed to actually complete your work, but this should be what students consider to be "Command Central" when preparing for chemistry class.

I will post here for all three levels of chemistry (Chem I, AP, and Research), so be sure the assignment is relevant to your class.

Of course, if there are questions, email me at mharris@wcsks.com or come to the classroom during tutorials (or before school).

I am excited for the new school year! Together, we are going to have a fabulous time in chemistry class!
