Welcome to 7th grade math and science! It is my belief that our school year needs to involve at least a few good "eww" moments, or students just aren't getting a proper introduction to life science. Hands-on learning gives all students more opportunities to build understanding and develop academic skills they need to succeed. This is especially critical for our large population of English language learners and students with special needs. Please read on to learn more about my students, our school, and the exciting projects we're hoping to make a reality this year!
