I have been teaching science in grades 7-12 since 1988, first in Phoenix Arizona, then Lincoln Nebraska, Fairbanks Alaska, and now in Monument Colorado. I have been at Lewis-Palmer High School since 2015. My passion is creating lessons with a hands-on, inquiry, real-world  focus so students understand the content's connection to daily life. I am a National Board Certified Teacher and recipient of the Presidential Award in Mathematics and Science Teaching. I look forward to another great school year at LPHS! My email address is:  jsandstrom@lewispalmer.org. My classroom phone is 719-488-4720  ext 40202.  I can be found at Lewis-Palmer HS on Orange days.
