Density Project...

Wow can you believe that 5 weeks of school have past? Now for the 1st project. The key to writing your density essay project is to first answer the questions on the outline. Once you have the questions answered, sit and write an essay of a page or two. Your thoughts are your essay-you just need to get them down on paper. Don't forget to include key terms including: density, mass, volume, irregular objects, regular objects, ruler, balance, graduated cylinder, calculate, measure, and lab. If you hit a mental road block, feel free to email me ... as long as it is not Sunday night at 8 ... before then I can help.

Loving my school!

Wow. Yesterday was my first day teaching a CSUF saturday class. The experience was great and reminded me ... which I need every once and a while ... how much I love teaching junior high. I am proud to open their minds to the amazing world around them. I have great students this year and am seeing many old students. It is funny how you never know if you really touch the student as much as they touch your heart ... and then some come back. Those few make it known that it is felt. Good times! Teaching the "soon to be teachers" is nice because it is a way to give back and affect the future - great combination. Plus the pay allows me to buy some interesting objects for class : ) For any of my old PSTI students - I hope you are enjoying student teaching or the classes getting you ready.
