I teach SCIENCE to 3rd,4th,5th,6th,7th and 8th graders everyday in my school. It is important to me as an elementary science teacher to offer as many hands-on,engaging and meaningful lessons. Oh, and of course have FUN! I LOVE to use TECHNOLOGY in my classroom to help build on the 21st Century Learning skills that all students need to possess. I will continue to promote the use technology as a conduit to learning more Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. I believe that science classes should be meaningful, engaging and FUN! I attempt to make each S.T.E.M. lesson full of purposeful learning while allowing students to be creative. I hope to impact students' attitudes toward learning S.T.E.M. in a more positive and effective way. I want them to be aware of the many opportunities and options they will experience as they learn about S.T.E.M Careers and conduct S.T.E.M. inquiry based experiments.
