Ms. Della Morris
M. J. H. S.
TIKI TEACHER
During the dog days of summer, Ms. Morris would come into school with one and two gallon plants, planting soil, shovels and huge trimmers. What was she doing you ask? Creating a beautiful butterfly garden out of an overgrown courtyard. Ms. Morris made flower beds and planted beautiful plants and bushes to attract butterflies. This garden has turned into a lab for our seventh grade teachers and students …students are able to witness the magic of nature first hand. Her students have been exposed to the transformation from the egg to the caterpillar to the chrysalis to the butterfly. The butterflies are then tagged and “set free”. A colleague of Ms. Morris’s stated “It is great to watch the kids as they enter her room and witness the excitement they have for learning”.
Ms. Morris’s students appreciate her creativity. She sometimes creates songs and dances that pertain to the topics that are being covered. This in turn helps her students remember material. She is always bringing in animals and things to share with her students bringing Science to life! Ms. Morris’s students describe her as lively! Even though it is lively and fun, students are learning. If a student does not understand the material, she takes the time to explain to them individually. Ms. Morris truly cares if her students are mastering the material.
Team 7C/Tribe Eaglicious and the staff and students of MJHS thank you for everything you do daily to make MJHS a better place to be! Congratulations!
