My name is Michele Maguire and I have been the 7th grade Science teacher here at Brookside for 23 years.  I live for the "a-ha" moment and hope to inspire my students to grow a love a science and nature.  I believe that science is best taught through hands-on experiences, and feel that some of the best learning comes from being willing to take a chance and looking at mistakes as a learning experiences.  I am looking forward to another wonderful year, and hope that you get to hear stories of excitement about my class!
