I met with Rick, Cindy, Maggie and Gigi on Friday to talk about this summer, here is what came from it.
1. Gigi Richard will focus on natural disasters, hurricanes, volcanoes earthquakes and more as a topic for our course.
2. There are 15 people enrolled in the science side.
3. Heidi and I will be leading the teaching side
4. The on-line part might be a piece of non-fiction literature like John Mcphee's Control of Nature

I want to work in field trips and interactive notebooks, what would you like to see?

News About This Summer

Rumor has it that we will be taught this summer by Gigi Richard.

Time to be thinking about this summer

As posted, our class dates are set as is our topic. Earth Science. I am meeting with Rick this week to nail down more details and get the rest of the supplies so I can get them out. I still do not know who the prof will be. One thing I got from the conference was that it is a good thing have the content and pedagogy people working closely together, and I hope to start meeting with the content person as soon as possible. I am open to ideas and hope you all feel comfortable expressing your thoughts to me, so let me know what you want. My plans right now are inquiry instruction and field trips targeted for specific big ideas in Earth Science, (for example superposition). As always, let me know. I will be going to Fort Collins, on Thursday night for state Science Fair, other that that I plan on being around.
