My Students

My students are extremely lively, inquisitive, and kind. They never fail to put a smile on my face as we start school each morning.

They are happy to be at school, ready to learn, and deserve more than our district can provide right now.

We are a Title I school in a large, urban district, which means that the vast majority of our students are socioeconomically challenged. Rather than hindering my students, however, it just seems to encourage my students to make the most of their education.

My Project

This trip is such a rich, hands-on experience for my students. I try to provide my students with as many hands-on learning activities as possible, but it doesn't compare to getting out into the community and experiencing science!

This trip will allow my students to personally explore the ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean!

Students will investigate some of the marine food webs of the Pacific Ocean and explore extraordinary and unbelievable animal adaptations. They will learn how marine life thrives and adjusts to changes in habitat and they will discover the diversity in marine life through observation and hands on learning.
