October 8, 2009, will be the next library day to work on your projects. Everyone needs to come prepared to work and make sure that you have your USB's to save your information!!!!

Just a reminder that on Wednesday, September 30, 2009, the students need to have their history day topic, category and whether or not they will be doing individual projects or with a partner, determined and ready to submit to me.

Hello everyone....as I'm sure that some of you are aware, but for those of you who are not, this is my first year teaching at the Bloomfield Middle School. I am the social studies teacher for sixth, seventh and eighth grades.

The first few weeks were a little rough on all of us, however I think that the classroom, as a whole, is doing much better. We have all settled into "somewhat" of a routine now. The students have been good about patience and understanding through out this new transition.

For those of you who need to contact me my email address is: cwhitaker@bps14.org Please be mindful that I only check my email during the school days. Hopefully at some point I will have the ability to access this account from other locations.
