My Students

I love my first graders! There's one girl whose face lights up when she discovers new things. The other day she said, "I'm getting it! I'm learning to read!" There's another child whose strong personality and confidence inspire others to take chances and try new things. There's a boy who just joined our class from another county and is busy exploring every classroom resource with enthusiasm. There's another child who continues to do his best every day despite challenges and encourages others to do the same.

These young learners are eager to explore, get their hands dirty, work together to solve problems, and apply their rapidly growing body of knowledge.

My Project

This project aims to bring science to life in my first-grade classroom by giving students opportunities for hands-on exploration, discovery, design, inquiry, and investigation into key scientific concepts that are the building blocks for future learning across a wide variety of scientific fields. This idea flows from the 3-dimensional learning model for the Next Generation Science Standards. Too often, science, a subject young children naturally enjoy, is relegated to a few brief content-centered lessons, worksheets, and occasional demonstrations. I believe this is unacceptable and want to give my students the opportunity to satisfy their natural curiosity about the world around them while they build a basic body of scientific knowledge and critical thinking skills.
