My Students

Teaching just gets better and better each year! I teach fifth-grade science, and my students are engaged. They love science and are chomping at the bit to see what they are going to learn next. This energy compels me to constantly evaluate what can be done better in my classroom. I am looking for any new way to present science to draw in each and every student I see.

Students around the school are bubbling with excitement to get to fifth grade and experience the rich world of science in my classroom!

From the first day, we are seeking to gain an understanding of the world around us, all through the lens of science. Questions abound, and we help any way we can to answer them and continually pique their interest.

Our school is in a rural area of Mississippi with many students lacking real-world experiences and exposure to technology that are necessary in today's tech-driven world. This does not hinder our students from being curious about the world outside of their small communities. I have many bright students with even brighter futures.

My Project

I help coach a LEGO robotics team at my elementary school. I teach fifth grade and keep most of these materials in my classroom. I also like to keep my classroom organized and still allow space to play.

With awesome storage containers and an amazing area to explore, I hope to provide a stimulating environment of creativity and engineering with LEGOs!

Students need places to explore what they are interested in, and almost every kid loves LEGOs. I have STEM and STEAM task cards that can challenge them to build things, as well as providing the opportunity for free play. Students can come up with some amazing things when they have a medium as accessible as LEGOs.
