About my class

My fifth graders are inquisitive, inventive, and persistent. Science is the perfect medium for students to investigate their emerging interests while at the same time learning to work collaboratively with peers to solve problems and develop theories. I firmly believe that students learn best through direct experiences. This is especially true in science education, where students are challenged with making sense of the world around them. My school was recently named an Oklahoma Green School in recognition of the efforts of staff and students to reduce energy consumption, recycle, and preserve the environment. My students take great pride in improving their school and community. I believe that this project will add to their sense of school and community identity and serve as a source of continuing pride for all students.
