flowercopy.jpg Welcome to the JAWS at Lowell home page!  I am the JAWS teacher for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade highly capable students.  I am at Lowell on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  You are welcome to email me at my home email address: patkrick@harbornet.com or at my school email: PKRICK@tacoma.k12.wa.us

Did you know that I was the first JAWS teacher in the Tacoma district? I was hired in 1977!  Since then I have done many special projects with students.  I was a science enrichment teacher at Fawcett Elementary for 14 years and I even had my own art school for  5 years.  My hope is that students in the JAWS program will see all the connections both between school subjects and between their own interests.

JAWS stands for: Joining Ability With Subject Areas.
