Welcome to Mrs. Kellogg's Middle School Science Page!
HOW TO MAKE GREAT GRADES IN SCIENCE
1. Check your grades everyday.
2. Use your planner - be prepared.
3. Click on the current week's date to see the plan for the week.
4. Plan ahead! Always ask for your work ahead of time if you are going
to miss school. When you return always ask for your missed work.
5. Practice excellent note taking skills, review/refine your class notes on the same day you write them.
6. Proofread your work.
