Individual thoughts

Submitted by Barbara Kauffman on Fri, 07/25/2008 - 1:36pm.

I can give credit to some of the current publishers of teachers'
editions of texts (ie. SDP utilizes the Harcourt
Trophies for the literacy block; Foss is utilized in the science
curriculum. When I'm preparing lessons I'll come across
connections to the other subjects areas in the teachers' editions and
it's helpful for me. When I include some aspect of science
inquiry during a reading selection I think it makes for a more exciting
lesson. If it wasn't for the publishers' inclusion of these
connections, I'm not sure whether I'd have such interesting class
discussions and learning across the curriculum. The students and
I are always learning more things as we have discussions. Time
constraints are the enemy, however, so I frequently look at the
clock.

All in all, we have the potential to become well
rounded individuals. Such is the way that I can use practices
from science to teach other classes.
