What in the world ISN'T chemistry?

Greetings and Welcome! I am so happy that you can take a moment to visit. I am Binta Thomas, and I am from the "Spice of the Caribbean"- Grenada. 

Currently, I teach Chemistry at Rowlett high school, "Go Eagles!" It is such an honor to be a part of this prestigious institution. I feel like I am a member of the family at Rowlett. I am also a Graduate student at the Texas Christian University (TCU), Fort Worth, TX.

I come from a very diverse culture, and needless to say that I have a very diverse background.  At my leisure, I like reading, going to the gym, and listening to music. I also do have a very keen interest in contemporary-creative dance and drama. As a matter of fact, I taught dance back in Grenada. Upon graduating from college, in my home country, I taught at a high school (Science and Spanish). My interest in Science took me to Midwestern State University, where I pursued Biology/Chemistry. I had a very enriched, well-rounded college life. I got opportunities to represent my University at Conferences, I was a part of the Student Government (held an executive office), I began a successful dance group, and was even crowned Home-Coming Queen 2006! I also had academic success which includes the Tri-Beta Honors Society. From high school, I graduated top of my class, and delivered the valedictory address. You might also find it interesting, or unusual that I was also successful in sports, especially track and field. I also took part in pageants, and academic competitions, where I would have won different titles and trophies.

Thank you and Please visit again. Of course, take a visit to Grenada, right now, it will be so refreshing.

 
 
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS CHEMISTRY O_o
 
Chemistry IS the central science and Chemistry is all around us! It is my hope that you will appreciate the concepts we cover in class as they relate to the real-world and your life. I want all of you to be successful in this class, and I believe that this is very possible. I ask that you give this class 100%; devote time to study, be open to change, and question everything! Tutoring hours: Mon. & Tues. @2:35 PM and Wed. at 6:45 AM.  I DO NOT TUTOR DURING LUNCH, ADVISORY OR MY PLANNING PERIOD. Make up for labs will be Wed. mornings. Welcome! Bienvenido! Bienvenue!

AP Chemistry
This course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. For some students, this course enables them to undertake, as freshmen, second-year work in the chemistry sequence at their institution or to register for courses in other fields where general chemistry is a prerequisite. For other students, the AP Chemistry course fulfills the laboratory science requirement and frees time for other courses.

I too have taken Advanced Chemistry courses at the high school and collegiate level so I understand what is expected of college chemistry students and will do my best to prepare each of you for the AP Exam in May.

•AP Chemistry will challenge you to the limits of your academic ability. In the past you may have found classes "too easy", and therefore not stimulating you to do your very best. This will not be the case in AP Chemistry.

•AP Chemistry will teach you to think at higher levels.In AP Chemistry, you will be forced to think and apply concepts to new situations, and even derive your own theories from application. This is excellent preparation for the higher levels of thinking required in college.

•Of course, one of the most obvious benefits to this course is that when you take and pass the national AP Chemistry Exam given in May, you will receive college credit for the course when you enroll at most colleges and universities in the United States. This will save you both time and money.
