It's that time! We will be gathering for a meeting of the minds. We depend upon you, as veteran BioSITE teachers, to let us know how to make this the best BioSITE year yet.
In the morning, we will be working in small program groups to answer any logistical questions and make sure everyone is on the same page for the field days. Then, we will be working together to set goals and objectives for this year. We will start with our basic BioSITE plan, and brainstorm how to make this suit our students here and now. What is most important to focus on? How can we make this a lasting process for our students?
Next, Anna George will be helping explore the BioSITE teacher Blog and other resources on the web. We will even play with come gigapan pictures- very cool!
We will provide lunch- so hope you have RSVP'd...yummy selection of Sonoma Chicken Coop Salads!
In the afternoon, we will explore some of the unit materials we have prepared for our field days this year. By performing water quality tests and practicing some of the activities your fourth graders will be doing, we can share insights and ideas as to how we can extend the content through journaling, kits, projects, and evaluation tools.
We hope to make this training the kick start that you need to set up your BioSITE year. Our goal is to make sure you are prepared to help your students understand the true meaning of being River Guardians- now and in the future.
