Aloha, I'm Rachel! I am a former elementary school teacher. I have 12 years of experience in the classroom teaching grades 2,3, and 4. I spent the last 8 years as a grade 4 teacher here in Honolulu.

I have experience with grade 4 common core science standards as well as participation in science fair projects. I was directly involved with the Honolulu District Science Fair, as both a school coordinator, as well as a me
