Mrs. Wolf, Science
September 09, 2007
Welcome.
I am Emily Wolf, science teacher, here at Osakis High School. I look forward to welcoming back another great group of students this fall as we begin to study Life Science, Earth Science, and Dynamics of Nature. I am a graduate of Bemidji State University and hold a Master of Science Degree in Environmental Ecosystems and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies. As I begin my fourth year at Osakis, I eagerly anticipate meeting this year's students and guiding them to a deeper understanding of the world of science around them.
The related pages connected with this site contain lesson plans and course syllabi for students in grades seven through nine. Please feel free to email or call me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding your child in my class. (For a faster response, please consider email.)
Thanks for choosing Osakis High School, I look forward to the school year together!
