Billingsley Science Blog Cucumber Garden

I used our Robert E. Lee Elementary Science Lab Facebook page as my blog page. This site introduces students and teachers to interesting science activities and experiments. The cucumber experiment is ongoing. It requires students to be responsible for planting, watering, weeding, and harvesting cucumbers. The students learn about planting vegetables and fruit and the importance of nurturing and caring for the garden.
I think blogging is beneficial to educators because it can follow a process or introduce new material or information to teachers and students. They then can follow the page or blog and see how others' respond to the blog and how they make it their own or respond to the original post.

This is a closed group for second grade teachers to ask questions and discuss all things teaching and education related. This Face book site discusses everything from setting up a classroom, managing a classroom, to planning and providing instruction. I love the different instructional resources that we all share and provide to one another. I think professional learning communities are important because they render fresh and new ideas that can be implemented into the classroom.

I would like to include video projects next year using the green screen. I enjoyed watching everyone's presentations today.

I would like to teach my first grade students to build boards independently. I also want to use paper slide videos and other strategies more often.

One site that I enjoy blogging and following is the Robert E. Lee Science Lab. I enjoy collaborating with other teachers and classes and working together to plant, grow, and harvest crops. Our class planted cucumber seed at the beginning if this school year. The second grade level worked together to water and cultivate the beds. When the cucumbers were ready we harvested the cucumbers and used them in the cafeteria, as well as making pickles. It taught the students to work together to achieve a goal, but also allowed the grade kevel to share on the Facebook blog page where there was a process. The students watched and monitored the progress of the planted cucumber.

I love that we all agree that these things that we're already doing. I love the QR scavenger hunt idea and I look forward to implementing that in my classroom.

The sky is the limit! I enjoyed watching other schools share how they use Digital Literacy. The variety and complexity has inspired me to keep growing as an educator! Specifically, I want to include paper slides and Powtoons.

Using Powtoons is on my "to-do list" for 4th quarter. Student engagement is crucial for success. I was extremely engaged viewing the student created powtoons rap. LOVED it.
