My Project

I am a new teacher with 7 months experience. I decided to teach after witnessing and enduring the changes of society caused by the pandemic.

My goal as a teacher is to motivate and inspire my scholars to become scientists, anthropologists, chemists, dentists, astronauts, physicists, physical therapists, archeologists - anything they dream of.

In our lab we will use our googles, lab aprons, and thermometers. My desire is that my students not be limited by their environment or circumstances. This school year will be all about student engagement- creating a fun, interactive classroom which will pull the scholars like a magnet.
