My Project

All of my students come to class with the want to learn. I find it so much more enjoyable when it is hands on and they are able to get their hands dirty, so to speak. Throughout their time in school they have been mostly in front of a computer or watching a video. I have found we have more fun when we are able to jump in and use our hands.

With the new materials we can not only learn, but we can have fun doing it.

They have shown interest in watching all things grow and learning how the human body works. With the terrariums and the human body kits we can jump in head first. I have a few that will be most excited about the crystals and how they form and take shape.

Thank you for allowing us this amazing opportunity to learn while making it fun!
