About The Teacher Label:


About The Teacher
If you asked me ten years ago where I would be now, I would never think teaching in Atlanta, GA. I'm from Ohio and my heart is still in Ohio. After graduating from Miami University (in Ohio.. sorry gators!) with a degree in Speech Pathology, I moved to Atlanta to work as a volunteer grant writer for a nonprofit through the program Americorps VISTA. The job allowed me to visit many schools and learn about after school programs. It was then that I realize I wanted to be in the classroom. In 2003, I joined a program called Teach for America and began teaching third grade at Slater Elementary in Atlanta Public Schools. After teaching there for three years, I joined the Sarah Smith Staff where I remained a fourth grade teacher for two years. This summer, I finally earned my Masters of Arts in Teaching from Oglethorpe University.

Mission Label:


Mission
My mission for the science lab is to create an environment where kids find their a passion for science. Through experiential and inquiry based learning the students will develop skills in asking questions, observing, following directions, drawing conclusions, and keeping records. We will be conducting science investigations and designing our own investigations to answer our own scientific questions.
