Teacher Appreciation Day

Pin It

My career is in the field of education--and I work with really wonderful teachers!  Today is teacher appreciation day (part of Teacher Appreciation Week).  In my department, we "try" to not do edible items and since there are so many teachers, we keep it really low cost.  We are giving our teachers a highlighter with this little tag at our staff meeting.  If you have a great teacher who needs an extra "thank you"--maybe this will work for you too!  Actually, the tags are generic enough that it works for lots of other people too!

Sincere thanks, no matter how simply given, are always appreciated!

To grab the full size file, click the link and look for the file named Highlight Tag.

Science Activities for Kids

Pin It
Many of you may not know that my day job is as a science specialist for a school district--and I'm also the really cool aunt who shares fun science stuff with my nieces and nephews. I thought I'd share this fun collection of Science Activities with you (maybe you will try some out over Spring Break!) I'm a big believer in capitalizing on children's natural curiosity about even the most common of things. There is a lot of science to be learned from your kitchen, your bathroom or your backyard!

Austin Children's Museum
The Exploratorium at San Francisco
Utah Education Network online educational games
The Science Spot (middle school)
Shrinky Dinks (a great lesson on conservation of mass or physical changes)

Some of my favorite books with science learning activities for kids are:

Batteries, Bulbs and Wires by David Glover
Teaching Chemistry with Toys by Terrific Science Press
Exploring Matter with Toys
Investigating Solids, Liquids and Gases with Toys
