Sorry for the late response, someho...Dear Jenny,<br /><br />Sorry for the late response, somehow I missed this, but you captured the essence of science--<br />"You've reminded me that we need to spend a lot more time together digging in the dirt, looking around ourselves, asking questions, and just talking about what we see, wonder, and think we know."<br /><br />I'm drifting further and further away from the theoretical (partly because I am getting more freshmen and fewer seniors, partly because of NGSS, maybe mostly because I am getting older and time is getting short.<br /><br />You're kids are very, very lucky to have you.<br /><br />~Michaeldoylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12901661320505882735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-26760369432284488492016-07-08T07:49:01.368-04:002016-07-08T07:49:01.368-04:00My oldest is in middle school.

She can rattle off things that make no sense to me as I've long sense forgotten them from my schooling. In groups they did have aquariums with various plants and animals that they planned and cared for. Other than that, I think most of what she did last year was theoretical. You've reminded me that we need to spend a lot more time together digging in the dirt, looking around ourselves, asking questions, and just talking about what we see, wonder, and think we know.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725549451973770515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4956989639073843954.post-12172008301942050792016-07-05T04:59:10.780-04:002016-07-05T04:59:10.780-04:00Amen!Amen!GratefulMystichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177207377819392818noreply@blogger.com
