My Students

I teach science to all 64 fourth graders. They love to do experiments and learn more from hands-on opportunities.

My students attend a magnet school which means they come from all over the city of Chicago.

Each day they take a world language class in either Chinese, Italian, French, or Spanish. Students take the same world language from kindergarten through eighth grade.

My Project

Earlier this year my students learned about circuits and created their own circuits that lit light bulbs and made motors run. These Little Bits kits will take their understanding of circuits to the next level. With the Little Bits kits students will be able to create projects such as a bubble flute. While directions for certain projects are available in the kits, my students will also be able to design their own projects. Creating the projects will give students an opportunity to test designs and fix any issues that occur.

My students want to do more experiments and have more opportunities for hands-on learning.

Through your generous support you can make science come alive in an exciting and concrete way for my students!
