    students. Ms. Pohly
  • My husband calls me the most hardheaded person he
    knows. I would agree, because I refuse to let any
    child fail ?--Mrs. Reasoner
  • I call my students my kids, because they become
    a part of my heart instantly. I love them as my
    own! Mrs. Sinclair
  • I believe one of the most important things I can
    do for my kids when learning science is to
    relate it back to everyday life as much as
    possible. Their curiosity inspires me. -Mrs.
