What new ideas are bubbling in you these days?

     Exciting and creative new ways to teach science to 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students are churning within me!  The students had a "greenhorn" for a teacher this year.  Yes, we've all been there, and I remember my early days as if they were yesterday, but... science is not an easy subject to teach.  There were plenty of struggles, tears and problems with the curriculum.  The teacher is moving because she is at the bottom of the ladder and she was bumped.  I asked her about the curriculum yesterday, and she informed me that she was taking it all with her.  Yikes!  Start from scratch?!?  Ego... be quiet!  I'm capable, I'm seasoned and I love science.  I can do this, and I will.  New ideas, new frontiers... another opportunity for growth and a chance to strengthen my skills as a teacher.
