My Students

I am very enthusiastic about giving my students a rich and meaningful experience through the activities in our curriculum. My science students in the inclusion and self-contained classes are excited to learn about the world around them through hands-on experiences.

They will be mastering the scientific method through project-based learning and inquiry.

They need basic supplies-

paper to help them communicate their findings! They love exploring and delight in learning! Although they come from very diverse backgrounds, they all love learning about science!

My Project

The paper will make a difference in my students’ lives. They will have what they need to print out their scientific findings! We are lacking essentials such as paper. The students will be so excited to print out their work! They will able to post their projects.

The students will be communicating their findings by creating bulletin boards.

It will also give them a sense of pride and accomplishment. Some of my students require large font, and the paper will enable me to meet each learner’s special needs. The supplies will help their learning and help me to meet their needs.
