Curriculum

I will be teaching math, geography and science this year. The math content is from the textbook “Saxon Math”. The text covers many concepts including: whole numbers, fractions algebra, decimals, percentages, geometry, and other general math concepts. The geography textbook is “World Geography”, and the content is just that, a look at geography concepts in countries throughout the world. Science students will work out of two different textbooks during the year and each term you will receive a “Science Packet”, which will contain the materials needed in class. All textbooks will remain in the class, and assignments will be done on worksheets, time will be given in class to complete the work assigned.

v  I look forward to meeting and working throughout this year with all of the parents and students in my class. Working together we will have a fun, educational, and successful year. Occasionally for content or rewards we may view G or PG movies. Please let me know if there is a concern regarding this policy. Otherwise parents please sign the attached form and have it returned to me acknowledging that you have read, and understand this disclosure statement.

Thank You

Sincerely,

John Turley
