My Students

Our school is an ethnically, culturally, and economically diverse Title I school. Our students strive for success in every aspect of life no matter the circumstances. They are eager to learn, excited to participate, and incredibly hardworking.

All of our students deserve a well-rounded and equitable learning environment.

As the Kindergarten team, we want our students to explore the world around them and get to know their community in different ways. Our students are amazing, curious, individuals who deserve to have an enriching education from the start.

My Project

Kindergarten students will join the Pacific Science Center in an environmental exploration at the Mercer Slough.

In the lab, students become familiar with the science terms, “organism,” “habitat” and “adaptation” before getting hands-on experience searching for and catching Aquatic Macroinvertebrates from the pond samples.

After, they have a unique experience looking at all of the pond creatures under a projector microscope to really bring those adaptations to life.

During the hike, educators show students a new way of exploring habitats by practicing observation skills in both a forest and a wetland. Students are challenged to find different examples of food, water and shelter in a group scavenger hunt. If there is enough time, groups can get any extra energy out playing an organism game.
