Thoughts about "placing" science

     I'm a first grade teacher at The Baldwin School in Bryn Mawr.  Although I don't teach science, I try to nurture a sense of discovery and wonder in my students as we explore our 25-acre campus.  The '07-'08 school year presents a unique opportunity - the lower end of the campus will be undergoing daily changes as our new gym is being constructed.  The playground will be gone, as will the Assembly Room.  The landscape will be significantly altered.  What will the students' initial reactions be in September - confusion, curiosity, concern?  How can I heop them adjust to the changing aspects of their school environment?
