About the store
Originally from Kingsville, Texas, I am a proud alumna of H.M. King High School and Texas A&I University (now TAMUK), where I earned my Bachelor of Science. My lifelong affinity for the outdoors—particularly the Texas coast—inspired me to pursue a degree in Field Biology with a minor in Chemistry.
This year marks my 25th year in science education and my 14th year serving the Uvalde community. Beyond the classroom, I am a dedicated mother to my son in San Antonio and a devoted "pet parent" to a lively household of two boxers, two cats, and two bearded dragons. Whether I am tending to my garden, relaxing by the river, or enjoying a quiet moment on my porch, I am happiest when immersed in nature. Science is my true passion, and I consider it a privilege to share that knowledge with my students every day.

Cluster Lab Comparative Antatomy
In this cluster lab, you will rotate through three dissection stations examining organisms of increasing complexity — from a segmented worm (annelid) from an arthropod to a vertebrate amphibian. At each station, you will follow step-by-step dissection instructions, observe, and draw internal structures, label major organ systems, and answer guided questions. The lab culminates with a comparative analysis and a CER (Claim-Evidence- Reasoning) summative assessment in which you will evaluate how th

Is That Source Legit - The CRAAP Test
The CRAAP Test is a checklist-based evaluation tool for determining the reliability and credibility of information sources. It stands for Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose, helping researchers filter out unreliable, outdated, or biased information. Developed by librarians at California State University, Chico, it is a standard method for assessing academic and web-based sources. Benedictine University
