I hope that they learn not just the rote memorization of the life cycle of a butterfly...
but a life lesson...
encapsulated in that little chrysalis...
that will one day emerge...
to be a hopeful thought...
that could help carry them...
through their own challenges...
and emergings of life.

ReplyDeleteI really like your blog. I think that your pictures of your students and your video is really great. I think your site looks like a elementary school bulletin board, very fun and colorful. It also looks like you really love being a teacher. I am also in your SUU class. Very nice job.
Thanks,

Thanks, Corey! I appreciate your comment. I really love posting things about the kids, but am reticent as I'm starting this blog about how much and what is prudent to share on the internet. Are you keeping your blog public or making it private? If I make it private and only give access to families of students I'd feel a lot more comfortable sharing things--their pics and work. But if I leave it public I'll be so careful to never use their last names, publish only certain pics where their face is mostly obstructed or backs to me...things like that. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteMrs. Glasier,
ReplyDeleteI really like your life cycle post. I think that it would be interesting for the students to see how the life cycle goes. Posting the pictures of each set is a very interesting idea. Did you have the students write about the cycle? I would like to know how they enjoyed the project. I teach Jr. High and not Science, so I don't know that this would be one of my assignments, but I love the way you designed it on you blog. It is worth thinking about a post like this on my blog. Thanks for the ideas. Cheri Sagers
