If you think Math is just about memorizing long lists of numbers, think again! In this class, Math is about solving puzzles and seeing patterns in the world around us.The Format: We start with a "Mental Math Minute" to warm up our brains, followed by a hands-on "Guided Discovery."The Content: We don't just learn that $5 \times 5 = 25$; we use "manipulatives" (like blocks, tiles, and beads) to build the numbers so you can see exactly how they work. We explore geometry by finding shapes in our playground and learn fractions by "slicing" up paper pizzas.The Dynamics: We use Math Centers. You’ll rotate through different stations—one might be a math game on the tablet, another might be a building challenge with blocks, and a third will be a small group session with me.
In our science lessons, we don't just read about the world; we investigate it. My goal is to turn our classroom into a laboratory.

The Format: Every lesson starts with a "Big Wonder." (For example: Why do some things float while others sink? or How do plants "eat" sunlight?)

The Content: We cover everything from the microscopic world of cells to the vastness of outer space. We learn about life cycles, the weather, and the "magic" of chemistry.

The Dynamics: We use the Scientific Method. We make a hypothesis, conduct an experiment, and analyze the results. Expect to get your hands messy with soil, water, magnets, and maybe even some baking soda volcanoes!
I have spent years helping students realize that they are "Math People" and "Science People"—even if they didn't think they were at first!

Real-World Connections: I make sure you know why we are learning. We’ll learn about angles by looking at sports and about biology by observing our class garden.

No Fear of Wrong Answers: In Science and Math, the "wrong" answer is often the most important because it shows us a new path to the truth. I am here to guide you through every "Aha!" moment.
