WELCOME

My name is Coach Bohn.  I am the sixth grade Science teacher and 7th grade girl’s Athletics coach.  This will be my 10th year of teaching at White Oak Middle School, and I am very excited for this upcoming group of 6th graders.

We will be starting off the school year by going over the class rules & expectations.   Also, we will be looking at lab rules & safety procedures.

This year we will be using a new curriculum from McGraw Hill Education. You can access this through your Classlink page on your chromebooks.  Also, you will have a student workbook to go along with it. However, the shipment was delayed and should be here next week.

Please subscribe to this blog by typing the email address on the right side of this page.  I will be updating this weekly to inform everyone of the upcoming week’s lesson plans and assignments. Thank you.

Coach Bohn
