It's all about Relationships....

Wonderful Wednesday!

My kids absolutely love Wonderful Wednesday....no this is not a science day or even a prize basket sort of thing.  It is a way I can give feedback to the kids and let them know I care.  Do I use candy as a "treat"?  Yes, but not for a special few - for everyone.  Here's what I do...


I sat down at the computer one night and brainstormed all the things I liked about my class.  I tried to pick things that were academic, social and just good manners...The list is ongoing at at the end of the blog you can see where you can purchase it - already done!


IMAG0535.jpg    First, print off several copies of each page.  (I like to print it on colored paper.) Cut them into strips and clip together with a paper clip or put them in an envelope. Then lay them on a table top so you can see them all. I like to see all my choices when I pick them...

        Next I call each child individually to the table and pick out a saying that specifically fits them at this time.  I also give a piece of candy…that never hurts.  However, this year I have a diabetic student and this has caused me to "rethink" the candy treat...
     I have found that all kids do something good every week and giving them recognition is a powerful tool.  I never leave anyone out and I never make it a "backhanded" compliment.  My kids love this and keep them taped to their desks!  If I forget, they remind me..that says something, doesn't it?  To see the document I have created, go to http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Wonderful-Wednesday

Science in the Streets

Science in the Streets: A free public engagement event from the History of Science Society Thursday, Nov 21, 3-6 pm, Boston Convention & Exhibition Center [I have asked  Conevery Bolton Valencius , who teaches at UMass Boston, to write a guest post about an event she is helping to organize at this year's HSS.  Many readers of this blog are interested in popular science & science popularization, and I urge everyone to join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion!] Current newspaper headlines make clear how anti-science and science-illiterate many Americans are, at least about some political issues.  But there are effective and interesting efforts going on all around to engage people in the workings and the wonderings of science.  Further, historians of science are doing a lot of that work – and sometimes have particular insight about what is new or very old about rhythms of scientific skepticism or scientific enthusiasm.  At next week’s annual...

More thoughts on beer technologies! These should go down just as smoothly as  my post on canning craft beer (written up more fully here ). I'll focus on  MillerCoors, one of the industry's biggest packaging innovators, and  in particular on one of their best-selling beers, Miller Lite .  Look at that pour! The fact that taste isn't the most interesting thing about Miller Lite (as the company itself has basically suggested*) is, I'd argue, not unrelated to the fact that the brand has been on the leading edge of a packaging revolution for the last half-decade.  Consumers have a lot of trouble telling the difference between "light American lagers" by taste ( just listen to these experts !). To distinguish themselves on the marketplace, a lot goes into (big surprise) marketing – but here I think we've got something more. Differences in packaging might in fact be mostly talk, but there's at least a claim to technological superiority – and that's enoug...

Freddy the Fish...water quality

Image
Back into my classroom....we are learning about watersheds.  Boy have we had fun! One of the activities that I love is the Freddy the Fish Story  from the WUP center in Michigan.  In this activity, you read aloud a story about Freddy the Fish (see the green sponge?) and his travels down the watershed.  He starts in a nice cool, clean stream.  As he travels he encounters all sorts of pollution - from too much sediment, to litter, fertilizer, etc.. The materials you pour into the tank are easy to find at home and are earth friendly for when you pour the water out as well.  We used Koolaid mix, basil, syrup, coffee sludge, soil, etc... The students really enjoyed this demonstration and were able to visualize the effects humans have on water quality.  When we were finished, the students then went back to their science notebooks and drew a picture of before and after.  They were able to add their opinions as well as noted observations about the qu...
