Support Mr. Kangas' classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
I teach future scientists, engineers, and biologists. I have the opportunity to teach Earth Science to over 175 6th graders. They are fresh out of elementary school and seem excited to learn about Earth Science. I teach a variety of students with varying learning styles and learning abilities. These students are eager to learn and enjoy collaborating together on projects and assignments. Almost all of my students are visual learners and enjoy moments when I can supplement the lessons with videos and animations. Our school has over 1400 students with a 75% student body of Latino ethnicity. Our school is deeply focused on preparing every student to be fully equipped and ready for high school and beyond despite having limited resources. Our staff is extremely supportive to one another and so is our administration.
