Meet Mrs. Westerbeck
My name is Amanda Westerbeck.  I am a graduate of the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) and earned my masters degree from the University of New England.  I am married to Brad Westerbeck who is an Athletic Trainer for Advance Rehabilitation and we have a son named Greyson.   I teach 6th grade Earth Science at Calhoun Middle and I am very proud to work with our amazing group of 6th grade teachers!  I love being a teacher and cannot imagine doing anything else.  I look forward to an amazing year!

Class Introduction
The goal of Earth Science is to provide students with a broad overview and understanding of our dynamic earth.  Students will actively explore the various earth processes  and human impacts on the earth.  Students will also learn metric measurement and scientific inquiry skills.  Specific topics of we will study include water, rocks and minerals, volcanoes, earthquakes, the solar system, weather, and many others.  The curriculum will be directed and guided by the Georgia Performance Standards and by the Calhoun Middle School science department.  My Earth Science class is filled with hands-on learning and is project based.  I understand that students have very different learning styles and interests.  I work very hard to make sure all students feel success and work to gain interest in the various topics we cover.  We are going to have a blast learning about Earth Science this year!
