My Students

Science should be fun and science should be challenging. Science must be taught in such a way that students from a lifelong love of the subject matter, and, hopefully, pursue a career in the science field. I teach seventh-grade science at a magnet middle school in a downtown urban area. I have 103 diverse learners who are taught using a hands-on, inquiry-based science curriculum.

My students are diverse.

Our school has many nationalities represented. My students are high achieving and from various different economic backgrounds. Our school is considered a school of need according to the number of students who qualify financially for free lunch programs.

Some students come to school hungry and are not truly concerned with what we have to teach them because they are overwhelmed by the thoughts of where their next meal may come from. Other students question if we actually have something to teach them that will truly make a difference in their lives. Still, others wonder if learning can truly be fun.

My Project

We are requesting a subscription to Flocabulary which will be used daily as a resource to make learning more engaging. This program teaches students skills and standards through the use of rap and music. The students do not see this as work, they see it as fun! Best part is, they are learning at the same time.

Rap, music, and standards found all in one amazing program that is totally engaging my students is priceless!

They learn without even knowing they are learning. They are having fun and completely soaking in information. They use what they learn through song and apply it in their every day work in the classroom. In order to connect science with students visually, we are requesting a variety of Science related posters for our classroom.
