Study Blast is a course that teaches essential skills and strategies that will help 6th graders prepare for the increased rigor of Middle School and beyond. I am excited to be teaching Study Blast because I believe this course provides a method for a smooth transition between elementary school and middle school by teaching and practicing increased expectations.
