Welcome to 8th Grade
Science
"The path isn't a straight line; it's a spiral. You continually come back to things you thought you understood and see deeper truths."

My name is Ms. Boatman and I am excited to be your child's Science Teacher this year! I was born and raised in N. Charleston, SC. I attended Johnson C Smith University and Pfeiffer University in NC where I received a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Masters in Health Administration. Prior to working in education I worked in Quality Assurance as an investigator and auditor. I have two (kind of adult) children, my daughter is 22 and my son is 19.
This is my fifth year at IL Texas. I started my Eagle journey as an Instructional Aide for 7th grade and was then asked to long-term sub for 6th grade Social Studies. My experience as a long term substitute actually inspired me to obtain my teaching certification. My second year at IL Texas I was the 6th grade Instructional Aide. Along with this role I taught 6th grade Science Fitness WIN (review of 5th grade TEKs) and also worked with EB students during enrichment. This is my 3rd year teaching 8th grade science.
I am happy to teach a subject that I truly love and I hope to share my love and excitement of science with every student this year!

Study Island
Study Island
Study Island is the number 1 - Tier 3 intervention in the country. As STAAR testing approaches with each sunrise, Study Island is a great tool to help students solidify concepts that were learned and some forgotten over Sixth and Seventh grades. We will use Study Island as a tool. Study Island assignments will be averaged for the cycle to equal one grade per cycle. Assignments are uploaded individual to capitalize on what YOUR EAGLE needs to be successful at the end of the school year.
