TCS first grade teachers, including new teachers, Taylor Harrison and Ashleigh Bonovitch, met together at the ALC today with Dr. Faust and Rod Alex to explore and study two of their STEMscopes Science units: Behavior of Light and Sound and Communication.
Teachers took time to research additional resources that will enhance the topic being taught. Once completed, teachers reviewed the changes and additions made to their specified kit. Some teachers demonstrated the kit activities for other teachers to observe, provide feedback, and suggest any changes. Also, teachers created a list of items (clear cups, tin cans, laminated vocabulary cards, etc.) they would like to see added to the kits.
The feedback received from today was very positive. Teachers feel more prepared to teach the first four STEMscopes modules. Two additional dates (November 17 and February 16) are scheduled during the school year to meet back at the ALC and explore the upcoming modules in their schedule.
