Allow us to introduce ourselves…
Today your child began an exciting science program in their classroom offered by Science from Scientists. SfS is a Boston-based, non-profit organization that strives to improve science and technology attitudes and aptitudes. We send real scientists into the classroom during school every other week to teach exciting, fun, and curriculum-relevant science lessons. We will be visiting your child’s classroom every other week throughout the school year. We will bring engaging, informative, and stimulating hands-on lessons with us to supplement the school’s science curriculum.
Your child’s instructors are Dr. Leighann Sullivan and Mr. Erik McGrath. Dr. Sullivan earned her undergraduate degree in Biology from Cornell University and graduate degree in Biochemistry from Rice University.She has previously taught at the middle school, high school, and college levels. The reason she loves teaching is the joy in seeing the excitement on the students’ faces as they discover something new about science.
I’m Erik McGrath, I earned my undergraduate degree in physics from Bridgewater State University and am currently a graduate student in physics at UMass Dartmouth. I came to science sideways from carpentry and currently mix mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and materials science in pursuit of a better battery. I like teaching because no matter what grade level you teach you will always learn something new from the students.
