My Students

My students are the best in the world! We live in a very small, rural town in mid-west Indiana. Over 60% of our students are eligible for free and reduced lunch. Our state standards changed last year, and I find myself lacking durable items to teach these standards.

My school doesn't have much money for up-to-date equipment, so I write grants to purchase items to help my students work with a variety of tools to which they would not otherwise have access.

I teach all levels of students and believe each and every one should have the same experiences! All of them are eager to learn by understanding that all subjects must be integrated to have a complete learning experience. I have convinced each and every one that they can win a Nobel Prize for thinking outside the box. It is my job to give them the tools to think critically in every situation.

My Project

Remember the days of the triple beam balances to measure ingredients for a good experiment? Those days of yore have been replaced by the digital scale for many reasons, the most important being accuracy and use of technology in the classroom.

Digital scales guarantee the students have the exact amount of materials to achieve success in all experiments!

Most of our classroom materials come in small quantities, and it is so helpful for the students to get the correct amount of materials the first time- and in the age of small budgets, the digital scales will make those materials go farther.
