Mrs. Grimes was my science lab teacher when I was in 6th grade in 2010. She made science interesting and fun. She made me interested in using microscopes and dissecting to learn more. I will always remember the squid lab where we learned about the all the parts. She inspired me to go to college and become a veterinarian technician.

When I was in Mrs. Grimes class, it was always very engaging and interesting. The labs were always fun and gross in an awesome way. She was a really nice teacher, and I hope future students love her as I did.

For the last five years, I have worked with and collaborated with Michelle Grimes in many science aspects. I have yet to meet another teacher in my 32 years of teaching with the knowledge and passion of science that she has. Her variety of hands-on activities are standards based and student centered. Her focus is to help the child develop an understanding of the science at hand, as well as foster a desire to want to know even more. She opens their eyes to a new way of looking at the world around us through science.

Ms. Grimes was the best science teacher! She always made it fun and interesting with lots of hands-on activities. My favorite things were all the different labs we did, especially the lab on minerals. Ms. Grimes always made learning and science fun!

I worked with Mrs. Grimes for several years and she is the best science teacher! She always has hands-on lessons and experiences that make sense to kids. Our school's scores in science increased greatly while she was the sole science teacher. Two thumbs up.

Letter of recommendation from administration for consideration in Brevard County Florida teacher of the year.
Michelle Grimes is an outstanding teacher with a passion for science that comes so naturally! She finds ways to ensure all students feel empowered to be scientists.
I am fortunate to have worked for 7 years with Ms. Grimes. In my time with her, she initiated a schoolwide science fair that supported 100s of students completing their project and navigating the entire scientific process.
Most importantly, Ms. Grimes makes science fun ❤
Good luck! Danielle
