Ok, I have been taking sooooooo many workshops this summer and I enjoyed them, but I've got to say that the workshop I'm taking now is AWESOME! I was always intimidated teaching science. I taught the subject, but wanted to do more hands on "lab" experiments, and I wasn't sure if I got the information across. Well, I have to tell you, I don't think I'll have any problems getting that information across now! The workshop is taught by awesome instructors at the University of West Georgia. We've been completing experiments all week, but today.......today was definitely my favorite day! Our instructor today was from Project WET(Water Education for Teachers). I learned so much. I thought I knew about water, boy was I wrong. I can't wait to implement some of the ideas that we heard today, as well as, explore some of the projects. If you haven't ever taken a WET workshop or heard of it, you must investigate. Visit the Georgia site at
http://GaProjectWET.org if you are in Georgia to find out about water unique to our state or
www.projectwet.org for the parent site (I hope that is how it's said). You can ask questions or request information at
info@projectwet.org. Do you think this workshop had a positive effect on me? You're right! Our workshop ends tomorrow (awwww)....Can't wait to see what's in store!
Thank You! Thank You!

Thank you Kimberly!! That just blesses my socks off! You sound like a wonderful teacher! Next year I won't be teaching as I will be staying home with my toddler, but I always loved teaching science. It's so fun to see them processing and thinking and I never had to say "Don't touch!" because that's what science is all about! I'm sure you'll do great this next year with all the new things your learning this summer! Have a great rest of it!

I'm always at a loss when it comes to teaching science. It's great that you are able to learn some thing that you can bring back to the classroom!
