My Project

I love how my students ask questions about questions. My students spend many hours researching and discussing concepts on how to improve the world around them. My students are special because they are innovators who expect the world to be sustainable for centuries to come.

The hydroponics kit will make a difference in learning because it will help students construct, deconstruct and reconstruct models that promote maximum efficiency of a system, promoting mental challenges , collaboration and team building.

The lessons I teach will extend skill application learning, research and communication.
