My students attend public elementary school in a town in Massachusetts. We are a classroom that is about 60% female, representing a broad range of cultures, ethnicity and learning needs. Most but not all of my students live in the neighborhood which ranges from low income to middle income. This group of fourth graders brings variety of background knowledge, strengths and learning styles that they contribute enthusiastically to each activity. They are eager to know more about the world around them and optimistically make the most of the limited materials available to them, mostly purchased by me. Many express an interest in science as a future career and our town's science program doesn't have the funding to support the development of critical thinking skills and the use 21st century learning tools necessary to students who hope to follow these career paths. I aim to support these dreams through rigorous yet engaging science instruction and exposure to technology used by scientists.
