Our local school, pre-k to 2, is consolidating with our neighboring school, grades 3-5. We are expanding our lower school vision: that hands-on engineering learning will lead students to love learning, make important contributions, be flexible, resilient, and creative thinkers. We want this vision to be alive and we want to create cohesiveness among the curriculums and classrooms. The science notebooks are a safe space for students to record what they did, show evidence, create math graphs, draw and write vocabulary words, ask questions, wonder, and observe. Science is about communicating. The grids in the notebook provide structure for scientific thinking and recording, and for teachers to use as a tool for next steps in their instruction. As a teacher who believes in our vision, I am hoping to provide resources to the new teachers to use in organizing their curricula and student work. The folders will provide cohesiveness for all students to store their writing, math, reading, and science project work in a similar way in all the classrooms. The plastic is durable and the folders can be reused for multiple years. The three prongs on the inside are useful for holding student tools, such as wordlists and checklists in writing. The post-it notes, for the reading and writing curriculum, are a tool for students across the school to revise their writing and add their thoughts to what they are reading in books. The post-it notes also help to make students thinking visible. While basic materials may seem boring, they are essential to day to day teaching in the classroom. At a public school with a tight budget, we are looking forward to being organized and portraying our students' work in a cohesive manner. Thank for supporting our public school!
