Would you like Dr. Rachel to visit your classroom? Please review the following and fill out the form below. She'll take a look at her schedule and be in touch with you via email shortly!

Please note:

Presentations are intended for individual classes, not assemblies. This allows for more engagement and more fun!
Dr. Rachel loves to present to multiple classes on the same day (saves time and gas!). Please ask other teachers at your school if they are interested in a presentation on the same day before filling out the form below. Scheduling back to back presentations works well, and Dr. Rachel can work around snack/recess/lunch times to find times that work for you.
Preschool/TK/K/1 presentations are 20-30 minutes.
2/3/4/5 presentations are 1 hour.
Note for 3rd grade teachers - the 3rd grade lesson fits VERY nicely with fulfilling the 3-LS1-1 CA Next Generation Science Standard.
