Thoughts about "placing" science 7/22/07
I'm a first grade teacher at The Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr. Although
I don't teach science, I try to nurture a sense of discovery and wonder
in my students as we explore our 25-acre campus. I'm a first grade teacher at The Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr. Although
I don't teach science, I try to nurture a sense of discovery and wonder
in my students as we explore our 25-acre campus. The '07-'08 school
year presents a unique opportunity - the lower end of the campus will
be undergoing daily changes as our new gym is being constructed. The
playground will be gone, as will the Assembly Room. The landscape will
be significantly altered. What will the students' initial reactions be
in September - confusion, curiosity, concern? How can I help them
adjust to the changing aspects of their school environment?
