As a true believer in hands-on learning, it has been a goal of mine to travel and experience first-hand the concepts we learn about in class.
Check out some of my latest adventures below!
Red Eyed Tree Frog in Costa Rica!
Hangin' in Cozumel Mexico with the world's largest shark, the Whale Shark š±
Arenal Volcano - Costa Rica's youngest and most active stratovolcano!
Rio Celeste Waterfall
Pink Beach at Salt Pier - Bonaire, Carribbean Netherlands - A scuba diver and snorkeler's paradise!
We will talk quite a bit about Yellowstone mid-year, as we learn about plate boundaries, hot spots, geysers, volcanoes, and more! If you love to travel or dream of it one day, you will love this unit! :)
Scuba diving with the sea turtlesĀ
Beautiful sea fan coral!
Hi there :) My name is Michelle Kenney, and I am grateful to be the science teacher for the 8th grade Gold team this year. The 2025-26 school year will be my ninth year teaching at Olmsted Falls!Ā
I received my Bachelor's degree in Middle Childhood Education from Baldwin Wallace University in 2017. I am certified to teach all subjects 4-6, and Science and ELA for grades 4-9. I also earned my Master's degree in Classroom Technology from Bowling Green State University in December of 2020 (at the height of remote learning! How fitting!)
I believe that science is best learned when sparking curiosity and discovery, and therefore, my class is very hands-on! Students will participate in labs on a mostly weekly basis and participate in thoughtful reflections that follow, becoming stronger readers, writers, critical thinkers, and SCIENTISTS along the way.Ā
Ā I am extremely passionate about teaching and building connections with students and families. Please do not hesitate to reach out!
