Meet the Teacher!
Welcome! I am Julie Moore, the science lab teacher at SCAPA Bluegrass (School for Creative and Performing Arts). A Lexington, KY native, I attended SCAPA and MSTC (Math Science and Technology Center at Dunbar) for my school career in Fayette County Public Schools. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics from Roanoke College in Salem, VA. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education from Midway College in Kentucky. I have been teaching since August 2001. In 2013, I completed my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an endorsement as a Literacy Specialist. In 2016, I received one of 25 Ashland Teacher Achievement Awards in the state of Kentucky. (Read more here in Kentucky Teacher) I was named the 2017 Outstanding Elementary Science Teacher for the state of Kentucky by KSTA. (Read more here in Kentucky Teacher or here on Fayette County's Kudos page). I love working with kids and teaching them to think and wonder about the world around them.
Student description of our classroom:
"In Ms. Moore’s science class, we learn through Amplify Science, but she also teaches her own activities for a deeper understanding. Because we are an Arts school, we have a lot of creative projects, which are very fun. She gives us freedom in what we can do and the classroom has a very friendly atmosphere. We normally get a say in who we want to collaborate with and she lets us decide as a class on what music we should listen to. She gives us a variety of ways to study and many sources for our research, whether it's on the computer or on paper. Ms.Moore understands that we have lives outside of school and tries not to send us home with homework. She also makes the classes fun whether it is through her jokes, drawings, or fun assignments. I love Ms.Moore's class because she always finds a way to make it interesting and not boring, like some other classes. She finds the best ways to describe complicated things to us using everyday things we understand like ocean currents with hot water In bath-tubs, equilibrium using kids with lollipops, or other random connections."
