May Reflection!

June is right around the corner- so before you get too busy here are some end of the year ideas and reminders:
---Posted here in the BioSITE Teacher blog you can find info on activities, kits, and links that will help you do more in your classroom.. Remember the more you do in your classroom- the more you students get out of their field experiences.

---And to help us all know what they actually did take away this year- there are two pages in your student journals that you can use as reflection acitivities. Now is the time! The two pages we have created in your students journals for end of the year reflection are: 1)Draw Yourself at the River (some of you did this at the beginning of the year- this will be a follow up). 2)The second reflection page is found toward the end of the journal, and has two river channel sketches. This is for students to complete the two different drawings by writing (and drawing) comments on each sketch that show their understanding of what makes a healthy river and what might cause a river to be unhealthy. Both of these reflection pages are very open ended- but we hope to get all kinds of insights as the students write, draw, and share what they have learned.

---Please let us get copies of this student work as it is very important to our evaluation and of course ongoing funding search....

Happy May!
