My Project

Teaching over the past five years has molded me into a strong innovative teacher who encompasses many hands-on experiences. Over these years, my gifted students have enjoyed and learned so much with the dissection labs.

This year, I want to provide my students with better dissecting equipment, tools and materials.

I am also planning on implementing owl pellet & eyeball dissecting labs prior to the week long of dissecting various organisms. Each year my Gifted students have loved exploring with hands-on labs. We wrap up the year with dissection labs as students cut beneath the skin of different species investigating similarities and differences from Homo sapiens.
