8/1 marks the date when teachers and retailers begin to Gear up for "Back to School". While you are at the beach riding the waves on your boogie board, we're surfing the internet and fliers to find the best deals on school supplies. We're hunting for the perfect "border" for our classroom bulletin board and yes... we're starting to think about the new crew that will soon be arriving...the students.
This year the Third graders at Memorial will become Scientists, Designers, and Dreamers of anything that is possible or impossible. Our classroom will be a learning Lab, and new discoveries will become the norm.
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics will surround us as we look at learning through a new lens and examine our world under a new microscope. I am excited to begin the year and have been gearing up all summer by preparing the laboratory and periodically studying my list of Scientists who will join me in Room 311's Learning Lab at the end of this month.
Be sure to enjoy the rest of what is left of your sciensational summer!
I look forward to debriefing with you weekly in my lab reports home via this BLOG!
