My Project

I love that my students are excited to learn about science! I had these students last year as 4th graders and was able to move up with them this year. I teach all abilities in my classes. We need owl pellet dissection mats, chart paper, a motorized solar system, and more. These materials will enrich their lives by giving them hands-on experiences. I will teach about physical properties through the magnets. Life science will be exciting when students dissect owl pellets that have been donated. Students will learn from the models of the Earth, sun, and moon. Clipboards make it so my students can take the lessons outside, in nature, where science awaits!
