Sabrina Boling- The Bug Expert!
Sabrina Boling is a 7th grade science teacher at Halls Middle School. She has worked in Knox County Schools for 30 years and is loved by her students and colleagues. Ms. Boling does many creative activities with her students throughout the year, but we want to highlight one specific way she has recently started engaging the community in STEM.
On her Facebook page she posts pictures of different insects, spiders, etc. with interesting facts about the creatures. She began these posts with bugs she found, but overtime her Facebook bug posts gained interest and now others regularly send her pictures of creatures they find. Ms. Boling then posts the pictures on Facebook with interesting facts about the creatures and gives credit to those who found them. She also shares these bug pictures and facts with her students on their daily warm-up activity. Check out some of her bug posts below!
