Welcome parents and students to 8th grade science!  I have a fun, stimulating and enriching year of science planned and am looking forward to working with you. 

On this page, you will find the homework listed for each night.  I will post the homework daily, but please remember that this page is meant to be a back-up; you should be writing the homework assignments in your binder-reminders in class, daily.  Each post will include the date, the assignment and its due date (if there is no due date, you are to assume that the assignment is due the next day).  You will find the most current assignment at the top of the page.  I will also post more long-term assignments, such as quizzes, tests, and projects on the calendar. 

If you are looking to get a head start on back-to-school shopping, you will need the following materials: 

1.  A three-ring binder with five divisions to be labeled as follows:
         a.  Opening Assignment
         b.  Vocabulary
         c.  Notes/Handout
         d.  Labs
         e.  Tests and Quizzes

2.  Either loose leaf paper OR a separate notebook (for the notes and opening assignment sections of your binder)

3.  Two pencils and two pens

4.  Optional: color pens or pencils, graph paper

Please feel free to contact me at any time throughout the school year ifyou have any questions or concerns. I can be reached via phone at 310-615-2690 x6203 or via email at mdelong@esusd.k12.ca.us.  Thanks and I look forward to meeting you soon!

Ms. DeLong
