Hello, I am Michelle Gibbons and I am the seventh grade homeroom teacher here at Blue Lake School! I am the English Language Arts teacher for grades 6, 7, and 8, as well as the teacher in charge of the elective classes including Spanish, Library, and Study Hall. Students will participate in Music and Art classes weekly as well. This is my ninth year here at Blue Lake School, and my twenty-fourth year educating middle school students. I enjoy reading, exercising, and spending time with my family. Our class has several exciting field trips and activities throughout the year, including College of the Redwoods (IBAC- I've Been Admitted to College), Sumeg Village, and three very exciting end-of-trimester reward field trips. Most basic student supplies are provided by the school, but please make sure that your student has a backpack, appropriate shoes for physical education, and a reusable water bottle at school every day. Homework is generally what assignments have not been completed in class each day. I can be reached by email at mgibbons@bluelakeschool.org. Welcome to Room 7!
