Erin I still have your number so I will call you about getting this to you I sincerly hope tomorrow. What is your e-mail?
Please keep in mind guys that I do not always stick to script. I will pretty much but when taping it will hopefully become a little more natural and therfore slightly off script.
I am so excited about the upcoming unit I have planned for your child. The theme of this unit is "Obtaining a Classsroom Pet". We will be integrateing the subjects of: Science- in learning about what a habitat is and those belonging to different animals, Math- through talking about various types of fundraisers, budgeting and the cost of obtaining and caring for the pet, and Language Arts- through various journals set up throughout the project on a varity of areas of the pet and project itself. I am currently involved in a practice run of this project with 4 other collegues. We are working on this using a wide varity of technology programs to enhance your child's learning, not only of the subject but, technology as well. I will admit this is a first for me and I am learning a lot and will continue to be right along with your child. I will make sure we use just the right program to fit the section, for example we will be using Excel in data gathering, and making graphs to read that data. This project will be that of project based learning which means that your child will be learning by doing. The students will be working in groups on a blog. I will give them the lesson and let them go. I will however be monitoring theri blog. I will comment in the blog on ocassion to not only help keep the students on track but help them get into the right direction if they get lost. I am so looking forward to this project and hope yur child will be too.
