Hello Wilson Knight Family,

Welcome to 6th Grade Science! We welcome you and your student to Wilson Middle School for the 2020-21 academic year. I know this is a year unlike any other before it, but here we are, and here we will explore, discover, collaborate, and learn together. Middle school is a new chapter in a student’s life, and I am honored to be a part of this as their science teacher.

Our Green Ninja Science Curriculum helps students build a strong foundation in science and make connections between science and daily life. It uses real-world phenomena to create immersive learning experiences that promote critical thinking, analysis of data, problem solving, and creativity. During Grade 6, students will explore fundamental concepts in thermal energy, body systems, weather and climate. They will be challenged to go beyond memorizing isolated facts, and will instead be taught how to apply the scientific and engineering practices used by professionals in the field to solve problems.

Our primary platform for information, assignments and connection will be through Google Classroom (GC). Your student should have received an email invitation last night to join their particular class. Your student may also join using the class code below. Attendance will be taken during Zoom meetings, so it is important for your child to check GC for our class Zoom meeting information.

Sincerely,

Mr. Scott Guzman-Peterson
