Meet Your Teacher

Hi, I'm Mrs. Herder.  Welcome to 7th grade Life Science!  We're going to have a great year studying all kinds of living things, from bacteria to animals.

I have always loved science.  It started when I was a little kid, and I would bring home any animal or plant I could find.  My mom usually made me put them back, but we had fish, lizards, cats, hamsters, gerbils, and hermit crabs, but not all at the same time! 

I also love astronomy and space science.  In January 2008, I was named a Solar System Ambassador by the Jet Propulsion Lab.  This means I'll be getting some training to present the most recent information from JPL missions, like Cassini-Huygens and the Mars Exploration Rovers.

My husband is also a teacher, but he teaches language arts at a high school in Minneapolis.  He hates snakes, so it's probably a good thing he doesn't teach science.  My daughter is in Kindergarten this year.  We're thinking about getting a dog, so if you have any suggestions, let me know!
