My Project

I love the way that my students critically think and are excited for learning. Our gifted program will have the theme of science investigations next year and the materials that have been requested will help support the students with a hands on approach to investigating.

My students are always thrilled to have STEM activities and I can't wait to see them become immersed in STEM learning this year.

They love to investigate and solve mysteries, making this the perfect theme for our school year. It would be amazing if students took this learning and decided to pursue a STEM career out of it.
