Welcome to Team UCONN~ Mrs. Savoy and Mr. Knowlton!

Our Mission

On this one-year journey, you can expect to grow in many ways.  The challenges that you will face will not be easy, but you will never be alone in your pursuit of mastering each and every obstacle as a puzzle that can be solved.  You will learn to set goals, and strive to attain your personal best.  You will learn to evaluate the outcome of each of your choices and to make informed decisions.  We will provide you with the tools, the skills, and information, but it will be your fire and your initiative that decides how best to use them.

**Note to students/parents:  Our science book is online and is available to use at  http://glencoe.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0078778069/student_view0/online_student_edition.html access code is EC2719FD1F   

Parents/students may go through and use any of the resources available.  I will be letting students know when certain things on the website would be useful to review at night; there are neat tools to use that might help remember concepts.  As you find things that are helpful or if your having difficulty email me to let me know and I'll help you out.  Together we can make this an exciting year with our science program.
