My Project

This year I am embarking on a new journey. I am moving schools after 17 years and I will be teaching a grade I never taught but sticking with Science. Most of the material I have bought throughout the years is geared to the younger grades.

This project of science resources, hydroponic lab, posters, flip charts and other materials will help me build a strong foundation.

It may be overwhelming to go into something new and not have enough resources but this is a great start and this project will help me succeed.

Ms. Sessa P993Q @ MS72 Grades 6-8
