6th Grade Science

Hello! My name is Marquette Bolden and I am your students 6th grade science teacher this year! I have been teaching for a total of 9 years. Before I became a teacher, I perused a career in the medical field by obtaining an Associate Degree in Medical Assisting. I then completed my Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education (K-6th) and am currently finishing my Master's Degree in Secondary Biology. I have always loved science and when I was your students age my dream was to be a Marine Biologist, but life had other plans, and I was blessed to be led down the path of Education. I love being a teacher and helping to support students grow in their academic success. I am a military spouse and have lived in a total of 9 states and 3 countries. I have traveled to 11 different countries and LOVE to travel. I have 2 children, a daughter named Alexis who will be in 8th grade this year, and son named Marcus, who will be in 3rd grade. We have 3 pets, a dog named Bailey, an aquatic turtle named, Luna, and a crested gecko names, Echo. I also have Pancake, our class pet who is a corn snake. Some of my hobbies include painting, reading, and hiking. Fall is my favorite time of the year as I prefer cooler weather and my birthday is in September!
