What a fantastic group they are! With 106 students divided into four classes, my classroom is packed tight with children hungry for knowledge about science. As a full inclusion school with no teacher aides for science, I have the unique opportunity to engage all types of learners, from students challenged with autism to gifted and talented kids, all in the same 56 minutes! Project based learning has been my saving grace, allowing students to work at their own pace, with the help of fellow classmates if needed, in order to provide a challenging learning environment for all participants.
