A-ha Time for Teacher...

Sub tomorrow! I am at my technology class. Can't wait to see what I will learn next!

Popcorn party moved to Thursday.

So proud to be a teacher and to have such wonderful kids and parents!


Holy Cow Wow Science!

Hello! Below you will find just some of the many videos I took yesterday of your children presenting their science projects to their classmates. Overall, I was super impressed. It was fun to listen to their explanations, but even more than that, it was SUPER fun to see and hear their excitement for learning. They had fun, and it showed in their faces! I will also be emailing you the videos of your child in action today or tomorrow. I am sorry I could not put them all on the blog, but I picked a variety to show you the different ways kids were learning. Some of the videos are hard to hear, so I could not use them. Why is is that 4th graders are loud in class and at recess, but not on video? Isn't video their generation? Hmmmm...

Today we will wrap up our weather unit by having an oovoo session with a science teacher, Mr. Beals, from Sr. High. He spent 6 weeks in Greenland conducting weather experiments to discover how the atmosphere was changing over time. He will be sharing some of the tools he used and some first hand "what does weather have to do with us" knowledge. Next, we will be going into force and motion. We will be pairing up with Mrs. Hankin's class for some fun and crazy experiments. She attended a workshop in DC on this very subject. Can you say...climb up on a roof and do an egg drop...oh my!

Have an excellent day!
