Hi all! Welcome to Mrs. Statema's EMP class. I am looking forward to learning with all of you this year and think that this blog with be a great way for us to communicate outside of class.
Here is a little bit of information about me. I grew up in Park Ridge and graduated from Maine South. I went to Hope College in Holland, Michigan and graduated with a degree in Physics Education. This is my fourth year teaching Physics at Maine South and I love my job. My husband and I live in the city and love trying new restaurants. When I have free time I enjoy making jewelry, reading, scrapbooking, watching movies and spending time with friends and family - unfortunately between teaching and graduate school free time is few and far between. I am currently working on my masters in Science Education, so I have not forgotten what it is like to be a student. :-) I am also the Science Olympiad coach and sponsor for the Space Exploration Program.
Your first commenting assignment is to leave a comment at the bottom of this post that shares some information about yourself (interests, talents, activities/sports involved in, jobs, family, etc), this way we can all learn about each other throughout the class. Also please include what about physics interests you the most. (If you aren't sure what physics is check out the "glog" on the home page of this blog). THIS COMMENT IS DUE BY MONDAY.
**Quick note: make sure you only use your first name and last initial (same goes for people listed in posts)**
