Goddess on my Mind!
May 19, 2008 by

return-of-the-goddess
At the centre of our heart
She beckons right to us
Remember from where you came
Out of the earth and elements made
To her you will return one day
To the soft brown earth to lay
So gentle mortals give up the struggle
Of trying to work it all out
Controlling life between your hands
Rather surrender into her
Loving embrace
For she holds you in her love
Her divine plan for your evolution
On earth
She’s with you each footstep
As you walk on your way
We are remembering from where we all come
The return of the goddess is part of the plan
We’ve evolved our technology and intelligent ways
We’re able to communicate across the whole globe
Now is the time to balance knowledge with intuition
Left linear brain and right circulation
To find a new way of being together
On planet earth
With the knowing that we are all connected
To Great Mother the earth
Who Loves each one of us just the way we are
No need to prove or strive for her love
She loves us because we are She
Born equal and free
The condor and the eagle fly once more
Together in the sky…

The new teacher in a group a veteran teachers | Posted in New Teachers
Great advice, Gabe. I totally agree. If we make a mistake when we are teaching a concept that is new to us, it is a teachable moment! Ask students to give input on what went wrong. Ask how they think they can change some variables to have the experiment work correctly? Most scientists do hundreds of trials before getting the results they hoped for. We don't have that same luxury of time and materials in school but there are times we can go back and have a do-over.

Implementing STEM in my classroom | Posted in STEM
Leslie, I believe STEM is best implemented by allowing creativity, expression, and collaboration in the classroom. In all grades, but especially in the lower grades, I have noticed that students often learn best from each other. I would begin implementing STEM by designing activities around group work and/or students teaching each other. In math, you can have students share how they got their answers step by step so that others can see and hear their peer's thinking and strategizing. In science, a great idea is having students work on group projects to "research" about the weather, water, and other Kindergarten TEKS. At the end of the week or lesson, the groups can share their findings with the class. I hope my ideas can help you implement STEM education in your Kindergarten classroom!

Inquiry-Based Learning in Elementary School | Posted in Elementary Science
I believe that inquiry based learning is also extremely beneficial for students especially at the lower elementary grades. Like mentioned by others, this type of learning helps the students think for themselves. There are also different types of inquiry based learning, depending on how much direction you would like to give the students. If you are going to completely hand over the reins to the students this is called an open inquiry. In this inquiry the students will be in charge of coming up with a question/problem, procedure, and results/ analysis. This would be a great way to get the students to think creatively and problem solve. However, for the younger students it could be hard for them to come up with everything on their own. So, for this age group I would recommend a structured inquiry. For this, you as the teacher would come up with the question/problem, and the procedure for everyone to do. Then the students would have to analyze and reason as to why these things occurred. In my science methods class we did an experiment called "dancing raisins for our structured inquiry. We were given the question of, "Why do raisins, when added to a cup of sparkling water float to the top of the cup?" We were also given the procedure of putting five raisins in two cups with the same amount of liquid, one with sparkling water and one with regular water. Then it was our job to analyze why it was that the raisins floated in the sparkling water. I think that this would be a great idea of a structured inquiry for younger elementary grades. You can structure it, but still gets them thinking!

Senate to take up $1.1T bill to keep govt running

WASHINGTON, D.C. - It's now up to the Senate to pass a huge $1.1 trillion spending bill to keep the government running, but not before a battle between old school veterans and new breed freshmen such as tea partier Ted Cruz and Elizabeth Warren, a liberal with a national following.
The smart money is on old school types such as Democratic leader Harry Reid and GOP leader Mitch McConnell.
The measure passed the House after a day of drama Thursday but by a relatively comfortable 219-206.
The vote came after GOP leaders sent the House into a seven-hour recess to give the White House time to lobby Democrats angry that the measure weakens rules on the financial industry and allows wealthy donors to pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into political parties.

Diggins Carries Irish, Spoiling Lady Vols’ Night
Skylar Diggins had one of the best performances of her brilliant career. Diggins, a senior guard, scored a career-high 33 points as No. 2 Notre Dame beat No. 9 Tennessee, 77-67, for its 14th straight victory. Diggins’s big performance spoiled Tennessee’s celebration of the former Lady Vols coach Pat Summitt, who had a banner raised in her honor at Thompson-Boling Arena before the game.
¶ The Big East Conference wants to add a member and may sign a television package that includes multiple networks, Commissioner Mike Aresco said, adding that the league wanted to keep its name as it rebranded. Aresco said the league no longer had plans to expand farther west than Texas.
