Help Mrs. M.

As advancements in technology and science continue to change daily, it is imperative that we, as educators, provide our students with opportunities to explore and examine those changes and communicate about how those changes directly or indirectly affect their lives. Being a fifth grade teacher, many of my students are beginning to "branch out" and explore scientific areas that are more advanced than lower elementary areas. Providing my students with an avenue to express their thoughts and ideas on these areas has been challenging, as there are simply not enough hours in the day to have the conversations I would hope to. As a solution, I have started the use of science journals in the classroom, providing students with a way to put their thoughts about a scientific subject in writing. This has proven to be an effective way of allowing students to express their theories and concerns on specific areas. This proposal is for the purchase of materials to create Science Journals/Notebooks for the upcoming school year (2007-2008) for my fifth grade students. Working at a school where the majority of students come from low socio-economic backgrounds, I see the advantages I can provide to the students through scientific explorations. Many of the activities we complete are well followed with writing activities. The use of Science Journals/Notebooks will provide the sixty 5th graders at my elementary school with the opportunity to explain their understanding on scientific concepts and principles.
