Hello Mavericks, I am one of the science teacher's here at Smart's Mill. I retired eons ago from infectious disease research to become a stay at home mom (toughest job in the world). I now have 3 fabulous children, and we stay busy with swim team, basketball, and LAX during the school year. My kids are good at sports, and I'm good at carpooling.
I love showing kids just how awesome our world is through the field of science. We cover everything from "Why is the sky blue?" to "What makes a plant a plant?" and a thousand topics in between. In class, I focus on providing a fun and structured learning environment that includes lots of movement breaks (because sitting still for 90 minutes just isn't fun). I also ensure that each student feels accepted and valued for their specific gifts and talents.
