Oak Ridge R-6

Middle School Science Teacher

573-266-3218, Ext 509

Welcome! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Jessica (Seyer) Fronabarger.  I was born and raised in Oak Ridge, and a proud BlueJay graduate (class of 2007).

I am entering my 11th year at Oak Ridge R-6 School District.  This is my fifth year as the middle school science teacher, here at my alma mater school.  I enjoy the small class size, our students and the faculty/staff. We have a supportive community that I am ever so grateful for!

I love my family and everything outdoors. We enjoy gardening, camping and working in the woods. My husband and I have two kiddos, one in elementary and the other in preschool.

Check out the page for all things middle school science and what we have been exploring.

Nature Unbound

Nature Unbound is an instructional unit helps high school students understand the impact of ecology on Missouri and the world. It builds on knowledge students gained from previous biology classes. Most activities in this unit are designed to get students outdoors and exploring, investigating, and asking questions about immediate areas around their school.

For those interested, below is a link to my Amazon wish list. These items are used within the classroom throughout the year for 7th-9th Science classes. I appreciate any and all donations/purchases for the classroom.

I still have a few extra ornaments if you'd like to place an order. Please contact me at the number or email above. I appreciate all who placed an order, as profits help fund class materials.

I cannot thank our community and supporters of my classes here at Oak Ridge R-6 Schools. Without your support, these campus transformations and projects would not be possible. Valuable learning opportunities and memories are leaving a mark with each group of participating students.

These projects are measured, researched, designed, presented and implemented by students. I am proud of each student that has worked with the projects below and look forward to the years to come. If you are on campus, please feel free to take a tour of the work of these students and the donors that helped make this possible.
