My Students

Don't you like getting down and dirty when learning about life science! We sure do and with your help we will get to grow different kinds of plants and watch life cycles of different animals/insects before our eyes instead of just reading about them in a book.

I teach first through fifth grade gifted students at a public school in Georgia.

They are so enthusiastic about learning. My students are very inquisitive and love to learn and explore. My students really enjoy hands on learning and project based learning. They love having their hands involved in their learning!

My Project

My students will be actively involved in learning as they have a hands-on learning experience. The classroom greenhouse, butterfly garden, live frog habitat and root vue farm set that I have requested will help students have a close look at animal and plant life cycles. They will be able to see the various stages of the plant and animal life cycles. We will be able to look closely at plants and animals on both land and sea that we study throughout our units. I have also asked for human x-rays and a human body floor puzzle for students to learn about our anatomy.

I hope to foster a love of learning that will last a lifetime by enhancing my lessons with hands on materials.

I want to give children an exciting environment to work in that will encourage curiosity and creativity in the fields of science and math.
