Experience

This year is my sixteenth year in the classroom, with thirteen of them in seventh and eighth grade science.

Teaching style

I use the Interactive Science Notebook for notes and inquiry. I use a lot of foldables and manipulatives to introduce new material, then follow with labs and activities that require a deeper level of understanding.
