My Students

My middle school students love science! They are eager and excited to find solutions for current world issues. Our science curriculum provides my students with many opportunities to learn science using the inquiry process by asking questions and investigating to find answers. Ultimately, they will investigate scientific concepts that will lead them to find solutions to problems that exist today and may exist in the future.

Our inquiry science class is an engaging and exciting opportunity for my students to be introduced to STEM career paths.

In order to create the best possible learning environment for my students, I begin by helping them to develop a growth mindset and an understanding of how empathy can lead to more impactful and innovative solutions to the problems they are trying to solve. This enables them to consider the perspectives of others in their solutions creating the best possible circumstances to improve the world we live in!

My school has a diverse population of students and is located in the center of Billings.

I am so glad you stopped by our DonorsChoose.org page. Thank you for supporting my classroom!

My Project

My students are in 8th grade. We are enjoying the opportunity to be learning in-person this year. Soon we will begin our Chemistry Unit. Since this is a new concept, the addition of these learning items will help make learning about the Periodic Table of Elements more engaging and interactive for my students.

We will use the interactive poster and dry-erase board and magnets to zoom in on specific elements of the periodic table.

In addition, the Elements and Periodic Table workbook will give us important details as we do so.
