Mount Vernon

I received a nice thank you e-mail from one of the teachers in Mount Vernon.  When I went to the training they were attending last week (Water) I noticed that they wanted a booklet like the one Cedar Rapids had available so they didn't have to hand out each activity.  I went to the FOSS website and did a 'print screen' on each page and pasted them into a Power Point in order, and made a journal page (lined) to go in between each one, and made a cover. They have LCD projectors, so they can even show the Power Point one page per activity as they direct the students.   I love helping people be more efficient in the classroom. I know the value of that from the other side.  I also made a story starter called, "My Life as a Drop of Water" so the kids would have a venue for applying their knowledge of the water cycle through creative writing.
