Description
Class Experience
The goal of this class is for students to learn about life sciences through their own discoveries. Each class I will model my own observations and discoveries for the week. This will help students to dig deeper each week while they exploring.
I taught this class as a summer reading program at my public library. Nature is always my happy place and I hope to share that experience with my students.
