Dove Hayes 7th Grade Science (417) 649-7246 Fax: (417) 649-0022 About MeThis is my third year teaching at the Carl Junction Junior High. I graduated from Missouri Southern in the Fall of 2001 and I am currently writing my research paper for my Master's in Science Education from Northwest Missouri State University, then I graduate! I have been teaching with science kits for ten years. I am a trainer of the science kits for the Southwest Center for Excellence in Education and have worked with DESE as a Key leader for Building a Presence in Science and rewriting MAP science questions. I am a parent of two wonderful children. My son, Drake, is 13 years old and will be entering 8th grade at Carl Junction. My daughter, Raven, is in the Honors Program at MSU in Springfield where she is a junior. We have several pets including a parrot named Emmie, and a dog named Hewey. We also have three cats that were abandoned by their mother last summer. MissionAll life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. --Ralph Waldo EmersonMy mission is to create lifelong learners. I want my students to leave my class with a thirst for knowledge. I hope to inspire my students to never stop asking questions and trying to solve life's puzzles.
