My Students

My students are incredibly caring! They are quick to offer help to each other. They all have a heart of gold and each child has a special quality that has made this challenging year such a joy. They make me laugh and remind me that teaching can be fun even under the circumstances that we are facing.

My students demonstrate daily how resilient they are!

My Project

Students will have the opportunity to explore the scientific process through hands-on activities through exploration-based learning. Students will be able to test hypotheses and engage in rich conversations. Understanding the scientific method is very valuable in understanding perseverance, which is a skill that students can carry into their lives and in any situation.

Having science materials like science kits, owl pellets, microscopes, etc, that are accessible is necessary to prepare our students for careers in science, technology, engineering, and math.

It is also a way to explore the many questions that students have about the world around us.
