My Project

My students are from a small, rural mountain community in northern California. Although we are a small school, it is important that we bring bigger opportunities to our students. As a school, we emphasize our ability to make connections with our students and their families.

Students in my science classroom are engaged in real-world science and lets face it, it gets messy!!

My students are passionate about engaging in science and STEM topics and using scientific knowledge to identify real-life problems and implement real-world solutions. The activities we do can and do get messy. It is important for students to have a vacuum to help clean up after themselves and build a sense of pride in their classroom.
