Q1 I took a quick overnight trip to NYCright before Christmas, but I really just kicked back and relaxed over vacation. I had been sick a ton between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so it was much needed. #scitlap
Q2 I asked this question, but I'm not sure of my answer. I love Marvel movies, so I love talking about that with my students. Super Powers actually have a lot of great science connections. #scitlap
Our high school is on block schedule...but as the feeder school we still maintain a traditional schedule. I teach 6th grade science and social studies. #scitlap
A3: I worked on engaging lesson plans for the first days of the semester. I wanted my Ss to know that I missed them and wanted to welcome them back to school! #scitlap
A4: I am transforming my classroom into a mobile weather van as we begin to investigate weather and climate! #scitlap I also have a guest visitor, @spann-who will be visiting my Ss later in the semester. #scitlap
A4: I always start with Finding Nemo first day of school clip, and then get Ss up and moving with True/False about me (then they make t/f about themselves) #scitlap
A4 Funny story, I made up a slide show of fake vacation pics of the Grand Canyon, Niagra Falls, and other land formations to introduce erosion. I told them that I took my private plane. They were hysterical! #scitlap
@MsDotysClass My class has done several #MysterySkype lessons and they LOVE it!! We also did a virtual tour of @AngelIsland in CA for our lesson on early immigration to America! #scitlap
@MsDotysClass That is exactly what got me started!! Our community has a population of less than 300 people so I try to expose them to as much as possible! #scitlap
A6 Last Year, I had them create there #oneword2019. I think I will talk about it this year and have them write theirs on my white board, just as a side activity. #scitlap
A6: My #OneWord2019 "Embrace" connects with the goal I set at the beginning of the school year. I hope to help them make a connections with their earlier goals! #scitlap
A3 I didn't cheat. I had things I knew had to get done before going back and I did my best to complete them. Started developing a synthetic materials unit. #scitlap
