My Students

Every morning we begin our day with our class pledge: "I believe in myself and my ability to do my best. I am intelligent. I am capable of greatness. I can learn. I will learn. I must learn today. I am too smart to waste today."

My students are eager to take chances, make mistakes, and get messy while investigating their immediate surroundings from a scientific point of view.

My school is a turnaround school on Chicago's West Side. A turnaround school is a chronically underperforming school that is chosen to begin a year with new leaders, teachers and staff to provide students more opportunities now and in the future. 43% of the students at my school do not have permanent homes or adequate housing while 96% qualify for free or reduced lunch. This means that many of my little ones will not be able to afford basic school supplies at the beginning of the year. Despite this discouraging statistic, more than half of my students are entering first grade at or above grade level in both reading and math.

My Project

The Science on the Go program is an investment in making science engaging and interactive. Students will explore the animals and habitats of the Midwest and discover the different ways adult animals care for their young in wetland, prairie, and woodland habitats.

The goal of this project is to collaborate with Museum Educators to learn best practices in science education and explore local Life Science content through inquiry-based lessons and cooperative learning.

I will have the opportunity to learn how to use unique museum resources from the living and preserved collections. My students will also take a focused field trip to the Nature Museum and make connections to learning in and out of the classroom.
