My Project

My students love science! I am always looking for fun and exciting new ways to teach science. Science is an area that can sometimes be overlooked or pushed aside for reading and math, however, I have found students are more engaged when science is incorporated.

Our class loves learning about our planet and its environment through exploration and literature.

If students are engaged and excited about what they are learning then they will not only retain the information better but they will want to expand and enhance their learning as well!
