Science Staff

Welcome to Science Lab at Live Oak.  My name is Sripriya Gopalan and students from 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th grade will be coming to my lab.  I love learning and experiencing the wonders of science along with my students and enjoy every moment of it.  It is a joy for me to see and grow the curiosity of the young minds every day.  Live Oak is a great school where the staff and students are inspired and motivated to be the best that they can be.  I feel very fortunate to be a part of this vibrant community.  

Looking forward to another great year!

My name is Kelly Los Banos and I am teaching the science

lab for 1st, 2nd and many 3rd grade classes. This is my 10th

year teaching in San Ramon, and I am proud to have been a part of

Live Oak Elementary since our opening year in 2007. At Live Oak, it has

been my pleasure to work with and learn from amazing colleagues, as I

taught Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades. As I move onto this new adventure

in my teaching career I am grateful to work alongside many of those same

colleagues, as well as teaching many former students! Teaching science is truly a

dream job for me! It is a joy to share my passion for science- wildlife, exploring

nature, geology and a commitment to ecological best practices- with Live Oak students!
