Thank you for visiting my page and for making the consideration to support my students and their education! I currently teach 6th grade college-bound scientists. Despite all the challenges my students face day to day, they are still more than ever driven to prove that they can and will succeed in whatever they put their hearts and minds into and I am truly inspired by them. Instilling the importance of a college education and a love and appreciation for science is easier said than done though. With the daily interruptions that follow in any turnaround middle school, it's hard to ensure my students are truly getting our lessons and learning our skills. Every lesson needs to have an impressionable moment on my children as many of the concepts need to stay with them well on beyond 6th grade. Please help me turn my classroom into a place where impressions are made!
