Learning Styles Reading Discussion We had a pretty spirited conversation about the use of Learning Styles in education. So much funds and monies have been spent on workshops, resources, etc. to incorporate learning styles in the classroom. As an undergraduate student, I do remember one of my Psych professors saying that people may have aContinue reading “Day 10: Learning Styles, Mixtures, and Compounds”

ModChem Day 5
PVT Lab Part 3: Pressure-Temperature Data Collection: There were 5 stations that each had a liquid in a container of varying temperatures. There was super hot all the way to super cold. We used the Vernier Gas Pressure Sensor and the Vernier Temperature Probe to collect the Pressure and Temperature data. Our data formed aContinue reading “ModChem Day 5”
ModChem Day 4: Pressure, Volume, and Particles in Motion
Wenning Article Discussion Some takeaways from the group discussion of the article: U2 – Energy and Particles in Motion New unit lab/demo. To open up the unit, we watched Mitch light a match, blow it out, and waited. Whenever the smell got to us, we raised our hands to show that we smelled the sulfur,Continue reading “ModChem Day 4: Pressure, Volume, and Particles in Motion”
Modeling Chemistry Day 1
It’s Day 1 of the Modeling Chemistry Workshop here at the birthplace of the Modeling Instruction pedagogy! I am very excited to be on this journey. I’m going to complain once about the weather, and that’s it (I hope). We left San Francisco and it was maybe 67℉. It is a cool 103℉ here inContinue reading “Modeling Chemistry Day 1”
Physics Day 20: I survived another year of teaching position graphs
It’s the end of the quarter, and I admittedly did not do a very good job of preparing myself mentally for what was to come today. I knew it was going to be a short period (65 minutes instead of our usual 75 minutes). It wasn’t until I was chatting with another teacher did IContinue reading “Physics Day 20: I survived another year of teaching position graphs”
Chem Day 11: Periodic Table continued
I had big plans for Day 11. We spent most of the class completing the Periodic Table instead. We had to take some time to review the Lesson 8: What Comes Around, Goes Around that was assigned for homework. Student feedback was that it was repetitive. I said that it was supposed to be repetitive.Continue reading “Chem Day 11: Periodic Table continued”
Chemistry Day 1: Save Fred!
Starting a new prep always gives me a certain level of anxiety because of the unknowns. I’m unsure how the delivery of different activities will go and what not. Documenting this round so that I remember for next time. Classroom Bingo I found a template on Canva and changed some of the descriptions. I addedContinue reading “Chemistry Day 1: Save Fred!”
In-Between Spaces
The last two years have been quite a whirl. I started as Principal 3 weeks before I got married. I was pregnant throughout Year 1 of Principal and navigating the new mom status in Year 2. In those 2 years, I never felt settled as an administrator, wife, or mom. Now, I’m going to goContinue reading “In-Between Spaces”
Year 17: It takes a village
“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” I thought it would only be appropriate to start a reflection going into my 17th year of education with scripture that was used at our faculty retreat.Continue reading “Year 17: It takes a village”
“Where Faith and Knowledge Meet”
Today, I was asked what my vision is for the school. It is daunting to think that one person’s vision will be used to guide the path of many. True leadership is to accept the joys and burdens of bearing the responsibility of an institution. With that said–I’m working on articulating my vision for theContinue reading ““Where Faith and Knowledge Meet””
