We are off to a great start in 2009! For those of you who did not know, I moved from 3rd grade to 6th grade this year. I am very excited to be teaching Science!
I am learning as much as the students about the 6th grade Science curriculum! I attended AMSTI training over the summer, where I learned a lot of techniques and methods for making Science more meaningful with hands-on activities and labs. Unfortunately, we will not be getting our AMSTI kits until after Christmas for this year. After attending the training for the other 1/2 of the year next summer, I will be fully teaching AMSTI curriculum from then on. For this year, however, I am taking the methods and strategies that I learned in AMSTI and applying them (the best I can) to the first semester curriculum. I think it's going to be a great year!
Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions and/or concerns. We are working together to make our children responsible citizens!
