Hello there! Thanks for checking out some of the resources that I have made for my students. I have 8 years of middle school teaching experience, primarily in 7th grade, but with some 6th and 8th grade as well. I have also taught a STEM based elective class for 6th - 8th grade.

Teaching style

I really focus on building relationships in my classroom and trying to get my students to be excited about science! Curiosity and Inquiry take the lead so that students have the desire to want to learn.
