About Miss Hughes
Teaching Philosophy:
I believe in making science and learning fun. A common fear among students of all ages is that science is difficult and therefore scary. Science can be challenging but applied correctly and in a way students understand, science is truly amazing. It is a vast subject that is bound to interest everyone in some aspect or another. I want my students to get excited and have fun while not even realizing that they are learning.
