Hi. My name is Michelle S. I am a high school special education teacher with 25 years of experience. I have completed a two week NASA workshop held in Mississippi as well as a workshop held at the Field Museum in Chicago. I am known as the Star Lady in my area. I have given presentations about astronomy and space science to school groups, library groups, the Boy Scouts, and the Girl Scouts. Come with me and learn about our solar system and universe.

I have co-taught in general science classes within the public schools. I have spent over 10 years teaching students study skills.

I believe in using as many senses as possible in the learning experience. I will have a student use his/her large muscles to learn or I may make review games for the computer.
