Wacky Science Day 2012!!! During the last week of school first graders spent the day as wacky scientists. It was a day filled with excitement, fun, mess and lots oohs and ahhs! The wacky scientists experimented with slime, fizzing potions, poked polymers and all sorts of other wild and wacky experiments.

(via @shellterrell) "The first days of class are very important for helping our students begin to build relationships with their peers. Getting to know you activities are fun and help us ensure we have a semester full of lasting memories."

Great suggestions from @ShellTerrell on activities to get to know your students

"The site shows very nicely how to construct the airplane. First, you have a 3D representation of the final product and then an animation that takes you through the steps required to build the plane. This is definitely a resource for fun and inspiration."

I participated in the Bam Radio Show "Why Young Children Bite, How to Talk About It, How to Manage It" along with Rae Pica, Susan Campbell, and Gretchen Kinnell many weeks ago and it wasn't until my grandson got his first teeth and decided to try those new little teeth out on one of my legs that I realized, it is time to write a post about toddler biting!
