Ms. KNapp
Welcome to Gold Team Science! My name is Ms. Knapp and I will be your science teacher! I started teaching at Ponus in 2006 on the Purple Team and then moved to the Red Team. In 2010 I moved up to the 8th grade and have been on the Gold Team since then.
I grew up outside of Boston and attended The University of Connecticut for both my bachelor and master degrees. After graduation I headed back to the Boston area and taught high school for just over a year before migrating south to Norwalk.
I am hoping to have a great year with you! My goal is to help students become self-directed learners while promoting their interest and understanding of a multitude of science concepts. If you should ever need me, please feel free to email me at [email protected].
Go for the Gold!

Mrs. Ferdinand
Hi! My name is Mrs. Ferdinand and I am a student teacher here at Ponus Ridge Middle School for the first quarter. I will be working alongside with Ms. Knapp and eventually taking over a specific unit of the first quarter curriculum. Student teaching at Ponus was a natural transition for me as I was a student intern here for the 2015-2016 school year, while completing my Master of Education degree at the University of Bridgeport. As a result, I was able to form relationships with the current 8th grade class (who were in 7th grade last year) and look forward to building on that success both academically and otherwise. If you should need anything from me, please contact me via Ms. Knapp's email: [email protected].
