WELCOME TO MY WEB PAGE!

Chemistry is a demanding course and students should be studying each night. The following suggestions might be helpful:

1. Flashcards for the elements we will be learning or other topics.

2. Studying a topic each evening...not trying to do too much at one time.

3. Making notes from the reading assignments to ask in class.

4. Learn the vocabulary...this is ESSENTIAL.

Tutoring is available each day afterschool or in the morning.
