Mr. Banks' Class Info.

Welcome!

I am so glad to have you with me on this journey of the study of science this year. Together we are going to do great things. I hope by the end of the school year you will have a greater appreciation and understanding of our physical world.

Time is the best appraiser of scientific work, and I am aware that an industrial discovery rarely produces all its fruit in the hands of its first inventor.

Louis Pasteur, 1822 to 1895

Here is my email address for parents:o kbanks@dsdmail.net

Of course if you are a student you may contact me by email as well but it is better if you contact me directly in canvas. My classroom phone number is 801-402-5555 ext. 58651. In all cases I will respond as quickly as possible. Note, when contacting by phone number if I am in class I will not be able to respond until later.

About Me:

I have five children of my own from young elementary age to young adult. I enjoy being with young people. They are so enthusiastic and have a love of life and of doing new things. It is such a wonderful thing when a new concept or idea is learned and incorporated in ones life. I like the outdoors. I like running. I know kind of weird, right? I love food, camping, and riding motorcycles with my family. I look forward to seeing you and what your contribution will be to our classroom.
