Biography:
This is Mrs. Foreback's 18th year teaching in DeWitt. She attended Michigan State University for both her undergraduate and graduate degrees. She enjoys being active in the life of our school and is happy to be a member of our Positive School Climate Team, ATLAS Core Team (curriculum), and our Technology Committee. She and her family enjoy their little hobby farm where her daughter loves to play with the goats and chickens. In her free time, she likes to read and spend time outdoors camping, hiking, and canoeing.
Suggested Supplies:
Folder or Binder - Handouts, worksheets, etc. will be three-hole punched in science class so it is helpful for some students to use a three-ring binder (It can be a single binder for science or science can be a section of a larger binder). Some students prefer a pocket folder for each class. All of these systems works well for science.
Colored pencils/markers and tape/glue for at home - We use foldables and other note-taking strategies that use color in science. There will be supplies available in the classroom, but if students want to work on these assignments at home, colored pencils or markers may be helpful. Glue sticks or tape may also be helpful on occasion. Students are welcome to borrow these items from the classroom if they need to finish something at home.
Materials for Projects - Students will engage in engineering and building tasks several times throughout the year. Students will be encouraged to bring materials from home for these projects, but it is NOT necessary to purchase new or expensive supplies for these projects. Students should find everyday, household materials (especially recyclables) to use for their projects; milk cartons, cardboard boxes, rubber bands, paper clips, old CDs/toys/etc. When bringing in recycled materials, please do not bring containers that contained peanut/tree nut products. Students will always be reminded to ask their parents' permission before using objects from home. These are not things that you will need at the beginning of the year.
