About the store
Having taught middle school for 19 years now, my teaching experience is still evolving. In the beginning, teaching 8th grade English was a challenge. The English credential got me the job, but teaching science is where I needed to be. After four years a position opened and a dream came true. Since then it's all about Life Science. I like to call it... Biology 101. The most important class to teach.

Urban/Organic Farming Class Survey
Do you have a school garden and would like to start a 7th or 8th grade garden class? Are you thinking about starting a garden class at your school but not sure if you have the interest? I used this survey to assess whether a class would be a popular option for an elective.

Teaching style
Teaching with a heart AND brain is my teaching style. In the spirit of a "grandmother" patting her grandchildren on the back saying, "good job!". I find my style is changing with the times. Students in my class are moving around and experiencing many different venues; I use a traditional classroom, we have a science lab, a garden lab, a computer lab and go on field studies.
