Science Intern

Hello 5-6^th Grade students and families!

My name is Ms. G., and I will be student teaching in Mrs. Durant’s classroom this year. I look forward to working with you throughout the year!

I grew up in Burlington, Vermont, and graduated from Burlington High School. I attended Hobart and William Smith Colleges in a small town called Geneva, New York. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Geoscience, and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies. I have worked as a Camp Director, Ski School Supervisor, Summer School Teacher, and an Environmental Educator.

This fall, I will also be helping coach the Williston Central Field Hockey team! I love being active and outdoors as much as possible, and I cannot wait to bring my environmental and outdoor education background into our classroom!

Ms. G.

Science Class Update 9/15

In science class we have been busy growing bacteria by making yogurt. Prior to making the yogurt, we learned all about bacteria (good and bad), viruses, and germs in general. This is a great time of year to talk about keeping each other healthy by washing hands a lot and the correct way to cough or sneeze to prevent viruses from spreading. Next week we will begin our study of Earth's systems (atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.)
