I am Chelsea and am excited to be starting the last semester of the program.]]> 2017-06-14 01:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cptc1990/ve04zxtqfje7/wish/176334344 cptc1990 https://padlet.com/cptc1990/ve04zxtqfje7/wish/176334405 The best way to get in contact with me is through D2L email or through my gmail: cptc1990@gmail.com

This upcoming year I will be staying in 3rd grade, but moving to a new county, school and serving third graders in a different capacity. I will be co-teaching with another third grade teacher and will work as the Special Ed inclusion teacher. I am excited to take on a new challenge and new role at Indian Knoll Elementary. ]]> 2017-06-14 01:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cptc1990/ve04zxtqfje7/wish/176334528 cptc1990 https://padlet.com/cptc1990/ve04zxtqfje7/wish/176334966 I really love the hands-on nature of science because it gets kids physically involved in their learning. I tend to see "shine" in Science class more when I share my own love and excitement for certain topics. I also love how flexible you can be within science topics. There is always a role or responsibility in an activity or experiment to match each students interest or needs. 
I would like to improve in finding even more ways to get my students out of their seats or outside to discover science in real-life examples. This tends to require more planning and time, but can prove to be much more successful.]]> 2017-06-14 01:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cptc1990/ve04zxtqfje7/wish/176334966 cptc1990 https://padlet.com/cptc1990/ve04zxtqfje7/wish/176335377 My husband and I just went on our own "science" adventure in Alaska. I kept catching myself thinking, "I wish my students could see this!" 
We hiked to Harding Ice Field to discover glaciers, took a boat tour to see humpback whales, sea lions, otters and many more animals. We had a guide explain plant life found in Alaska, and even turned eating new foods into a "science". 
Everyone should try to make the trip! ]]> 2017-06-14 01:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cptc1990/ve04zxtqfje7/wish/176335377
