Science Geek

Hello, my name is Susan and I am a science teacher. I have been spending my summer learning all kinds of new things and thought I'd share.
Science Safety Rap: http://www.educationalrap.com/67/lab-safety.html

The blog that hosts the science safety rap has lots of other raps in different subject. I'm listening to Figurative Language right now! Love it!!!

Fun in the Sun

I hope everyone's summer is off to a terrific start! So far I have spent one week teaching teachers to teach fourth grade science and one week goofing off with my family. I have a couple more weeks of goofing off before I take a class with Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Humble about the Miami tribe. I am looking forward to both the class and the goofing around:-)!!!
Keep reading and practicing those multiplication facts!

The End is Near

Here we are at the end of another school year. Everyone seems to have learned a lot and even had some fun along the way.
If you happen to spend some time cleaning out bedrooms and bookbags, please be on the lookout for items that may belong to the school or to the teachers. We have some books missing from the AR library, the school library and my personal library.
We will be going to Gauche Park tomorrow morning, weather permitting.
On Thursday, we will have our annual Tug-O-War at 9:30. Students who do not wear gym shoes will not be permitted to participate.
Many thanks for a great year!

Enjoy the weekend!

I can't believe

that we are in the home stretch!
Kids who are going to Washington D.C.-have a great time!
Kids who are going to Camp Campbell Gard-have a great time!
Kids who will be at school-we'll have a great time too!

Parents and students, please check your houses for items that belong to and/or at school such as AR books, textbooks, teachers' books, library books, etc. Also, if you have any scissors, crayons or other art supplies that you would like to donate to the classroom, those items are in great demand for use by others who may not be as fortunate to have their own.

Let's enjoy the last few weeks of school-lots of fun stuff will be happening!

Box Tops for Education

Thanks to Mrs. Walker who came today to teach our class about stoichiometry.

Our school is having a Box Tops for Education contest. The class that collects the most Box Tops by May 22 will earn a popsicle and extra recess. Each box top is worth 10 cents. If each student brings in 10 box tops per week for the rest of the year, our class could collect almost $100. Just imagine if we had been collecting these all year! All money collected this year will be used to refurbish and replace our outdated library books. Participating products include:
