Demographics
Thomas H. Henderson Middle School is located on the north side of Richmond, Virginia. It is one of eight schools in Richmond City Public Schools. It is a title one school where the student population is economically disadvantaged. We have a few middle-class families and very few are not native to America. I teach all of the 8th grade students that attend Henderson Middle School. There have a range of cognitive abilities from gifted to students with an individualized education plan (IEP). I do not teach students with severe disabilities. Most of my students have a basic knowledge of scientific topics. Some students have advanced knowledge and are able to explain complex scientific ideas and others struggle to write a complete sentence to communicate their ideas.
