My Students

For the past 13 years I have worked with 3rd grade students as a science teacher. This year I will be working with students in a different capacity as a 3rd grade teacher. I find my class of 3rd graders so interesting because many of them know who I am from a sibling that had me as their Science teacher and they all loved Science! What I love about my students is that they are all different and they are all different types of learners but the one thing they all have in common is that they all love to learn. That is what makes each of them special.

My Project

The materials will make a difference to my students because they will not only collect information about frogs but they will also get to observe them in their own environment. They will see how their frog adapts to its environment, but they could also discuss the changes they see, and share ideas about the development of their tadpole. Students will be able to bring the frogs home on holidays and they will also get homework sheets that they could share with their parents. We will read Everything You Need to Know about Frogs and other Slippery Creatures, to build their expertise about frogs’ life cycle, habitat, and the physical characteristics that make some frogs particularly “freaky.” Students will be supported to pay particular attention to the changes frogs go through.
