Hi and welcome to my PLTW/STEM site. My name is Mrs. Hoffman and I’m thrilled to be teaching at Dudley Middle School. I love to watch the students be creative and explore engineering in my classroom. I call it chaos with a purpose. I have created one page for each of my two different grade levels that I teach.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me at (508) 943-2224 ext. 4107 or email me at
