6TH GRADE SCIENCE AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS

Welcome to the James L. Day Middle School 2023/24 school year and the 6th Grade!
My name is Barbara Dowling, and this will be my 20th year teaching in Temecula. I have been teaching at DMS since 2012. Prior to that, I taught 5th grade at Ysabel Barnett Elementary.
My husband and I live locally, and we have three children (all of whom went to Barnett Elementary, DMS, and Chaparral High) and three grandchildren.
In my free time, I love playing with my grandkids, long-distance hiking and camping, riding my quad, growing fruits and vegetables in my garden, and cooking.
