Thank you for your support of our classroom. My goal is to teach kids to think critically. My students do extensive work in the science lab to collect data and apply what they have discovered to the world around them. I work hard to teach them skills that will help them throughout their lives. The hardest job for me is to make sure that I meet all of the varied needs of my students. The skill levels of my students are broad. Science is a melting pot for all kids; gifted learners, English language learners, and those learning disabilities. Many kids in my have hurdles to overcome. Science provides all kids with the opportunity to experiment with the world around them, my kids are excited to have these learning opportunities.
