Welcome to Team *STAR*!
I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Miss Jennifer Gali and I will be your child’s science teacher this year. I graduated from Ashland University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Early Childhood and Early Childhood Intervention. In addition I have both the Reading and Middle School Endorsements. I am very excited to get to work with your child and the entire team this upcoming year.
Science is a subject that requires a lot of hands-on projects and lessons. Throughout this year we will be working both in and outside of the classroom in order for the students to fully grasp the concepts and importance of science. A few units that we will be covering throughout the year will be the solar system, compare and contrasting animals and plants, and the properties of light and sound. These are just a few of our topics; there will be many other interesting topics that we will cover in science class. I am also organizing a field trip or two for the children to learn more about science outside the classroom.
Since we are working in a team of four this year; we will be collaborating and talking with one another multiple times throughout the week. We will meet with one another on a regular basis in order to talk about what’s going on in the classrooms.
We also would love to have your help throughout the year in order to help with various projects and events. Please contact us if you would be interested in this opportunity.
I am excited to get to know your child and work with them this upcoming year!
Please feel free to e-mail me at jgali@ashland.edu if you have any comments, questions, or concerns.
Thanks and see you soon!
Miss Gali
Hello. My name is Gary Smith and my son Benjiman will be one of your students this upcoming school year. I am writing because Benjiman is a very poor student when it comes to science and I was wondering what specific things would you be working on to keep a student like my son interested and willing to learn in your subject area?
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting Mr. Smith! Science is a very hands on subject. Throughout this upcoming year we will be conducting multiple experiments. I find that experiments help the students stay engaged and learn the material. Some of the experiments that we will be doing this year include creating the planets of the solar systems using different materials. Another activity will be growing our own plants to view their structure and characteristics. These live plants will also help us learn about the flow of energy through a system that all organisms use to survive. Science is a very lively subject to learn and teach about. I am looking forward to working with Benjiman throughout the school year. If you have any other questions, concerns or comments feel free to comment on a blog or email me personally.
