Ms. Leigh is thrilled to be spending time at Bell Middle doing science!
A little about me and my experience: I have been doing science since I was born. Yes, I have been a nerd that long. I will "geek out" without warning at insects, birds, trees, stones, weather events, and odd human behavior. Professionally, I have been involved in field biology (outdoor data collection) for 10 years. I have studied song birds throughout Colorado, endangered butterflies in the mountains, invertebrate communities in alpine environments, Gunnison Sage Grouse, prairie dogs, forest health in WY, and the magical interactions that are occurring right now in my backyard.
This will be my 4th year in a middle school classroom. Teaching is relatively new to my quiver of skills, but I have been teaching throughout my life in the pool, on the rivers, on the slopes, and behind the wheel of a snowcat. I have a Masters degree from University of Wyoming in Science Education. My teaching mantra is to include all students, everyday. Science is absolutely the best subject in school, I am thrilled to share this energy with my students.
I practice relentless enthusiasm and support for all students' success in my classes.
Please contact me via email with any questions or concerns.
