Welcome!

Hi all! Welcome to Mrs. Statema's Physics 1 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. I will be using this blog to bring up current events that relate to what we are learning in class and will expect you to comment on some of them (we will discuss how this works in class). We will use this to share Physics in the News information as well.

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. :-)

Please find your class post on this blog and leave a comment BY MONDAY 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. To leave a comment click on "comments" at the bottom of each post. Remember to only use your first name and last initial. Also please include what about physics interests you the most. (If you aren't sure what physics is check out the "glog" below.)
