Went to the graduation ceremony after school on Friday!!
Was a long day, talent show, collecting books, saying goodbyes and good lucks.
Before the ceremony I had some time in my classroom and I was able to grade all my finals grade all late work and post grades! Felt good. After the graduation (after five years) our staff had a get together at a local teachers house! We chatted and snacked... had refreshments and a bonfire with s'mores! It was great. I am hopeful that those kinds of activities become more frequent and help BHS get closer and build the community we desperately need! We shall see...
Next year I need a good, easy, effective way to get some daily news articles on scienc-y stuff either local or national worked into my classes.
Anyone have a favorite way?? Let me know???
That sounds like a lot of fun!! One thing that I love about the school that I work at is how well we work together as a staff; It makes my job so much easier! :) As far as the news goes, I have a science in the news board in my room...The kids and I can both bring news articles in to put up. Before it goes on the board, we talk about it as a class, and then hang the article up so people can read the whole thing if they want. I also have a little write-up the kids can do, just answering a few questions about their article, if they want to get a few extra credit points.
