I had a fabulous teaching day today, but then I usually do on Fridays, as it is my self imposed Lab Day. The kids look forward to it as much as I do. Today we focused on Newton's 1st Law, using washers, pennies, a clothespin, a sand filled container, and some string. They had a blast! I even video recorded a group or two, but I can't post it because some faces show. 
Next week we'll have labs investigating Newton's 2nd and 3rd Laws. The joys of teaching science!!
You are an amazing teacher! I wish I could team with you. All your hands-on activities would help my "special" students!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I had a student freak out because he's been truant, which is a violation of his court order, so he has to do home detention this weekend. I feel like I live on another planet, as this is what my year has been like!
