Teacher's Comments from Mr. Rountree:
My Students: A"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela My students are the next generation of change agents that this world needs. My students have the ability to think critically and communicate complex ideas.
I teach sixth grade magnet students.
My classroom provides a space where students can gather and learn in multiple settings: whole group, independent, and small group/cooperative learning. The school and classroom climate support the development of the adolescent learner. Although, there is great classroom and school support, supplies are limited.
My Project: Sixth graders are eager to learn about earth science. Videolabs will help support diverse modes of learning in lab stations. Videolabs will scaffold and engage students in learning about earth's systems. Games will reinforce instructional concepts learned throughout earth science. Students will learn about plate tectonics, weather, and conservation. Students will explore the impact of humans and climate and past/present/future affects on the earth.
This is the year that students will fall in love with science and decide to become
geologists, solar engineers, paleontologists, and geophysicists.
Donated materials will support enduring understandings of the earth's dynamic systems. Students will understand the earth and the world that they live in to better address learning needs.
