My Students

I am blessed to teach a group of energetic and motivated students. These kids thrive on inquiry-based science.

I am also blessed to have a parent base with high expectations for their kids.

It is really obvious, from the students' point of view, that parents place a great emphasis on progress in the academic arena.

My Project

These cell models, magnets, and balloons will allow students to have a more meaningful learning experience through hands-on manipulation of models. Hands-on exercises have proven vital in addressing the learning needs of a variety of learners. All of the items requested will be vital in providing those experiences to students. The balloons are used in a variety of lab exercises assigned throughout the year. The resources requested will serve the entire seventh-grade population at MPMS. I would like to thank you in advance for your generosity and for making these learning experiences available.

We truly appreciate your support with this project!
