My heart is at Harding! This is what I tell my students each year. I am so fortunate to teach 8th grade science in a school that beats the odds every single time. We are diverse, strong, and capable! Each year, these kids teach me more about myself, perseverance, and loyalty than I could ever teach them about science. Our "kids" speak more than 30 different languages, have spectacular cultural pride, and show more loyalty to their friends, family, and school than you could imagine. They have overcome extreme obstacles, yet make me laugh EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Thank you for checking out my page and projects! Donor's Choose has been the biggest blessing for me and my students! Your continued support has helped me create a culture of fun and learning in my classroom. It's full of plants, technology, color, design, beautiful windows, and happy faces. You are all a blessing!
