Welcome back for the new school year. It was good to see some of the familiar faces from last year back again, and just as good to see the new excited ones. We will have a good time this year.
One new thing for this year is a portfolio for contract work. Don't forget to have a binder to keep all that good research filed.
The first week of school will be all about getting familiar with the class. Not the science, but the kids who are your peers, the classmates that you will be teaching and learning from. To feel more a part of the whole class and not a face in the desk we will be doing several activities to get to know everyone and to put some of your own influence into your own class. So, questions for this week:
What is your ideal classroom like?
What does it sound, look, or feel like?
If we can all put for the effort and agree to make this class our ideal class we will all feel safe and comfortable in the class. Then we can start talking science with each other.
Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
Glad to have you all in our science class.
