My Project

My amazing, curious, and bright kiddos love to learn and science is always a favorite. A huge unit of study for third grade is all about our environment. We study aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, biotic and abiotic factors, organism interactions within their environment, and human impact on these ecosystems.

Please help me give my students hands on aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem environments to make science come to life!

I’m excited for my students to have hands on experiences within my calm and inviting classroom and I look forward to watching their science knowledge grow!
