Welcome to my home page!  My name is Terri Henry and I am a 6th grade science teacher at Benold Middle School.  My teaching philosophy is that children learn by doing.  My motto is "If it is not in the hands, it is not in the brain".  I conduct my class with a hands on approach to science.  I am looking forward to a fantastic year of learning and fun.

Education & Teaching Background:

• Major in Psychology from and a Minor in Biology from Southwestern University.
• Masters in Psychology (primarily dealing with children) from University of Mary-Hardin Baylor.
• This is my eighth year to teach science at Benold Middle School.
