Welcome

         Welcome to Mrs. Henry's Science class blog.  I am so excited to be at Woodland Presbyterian School this year.  We have so many things planned for this year.  It is going to be amazing. 
        This blog will serve two purposes.  Purpose #1: I will be posting pictures and information about class activities. Purpose #2: Quotes from famous scientists will be posted.  Students will be asked to comment on these quotes and give their opinions.  Posts from the students will be counted as a homework grade.
        I look forward to a great year.
