My first blog!
My name is Kim and I am in graduate school pursuing my Masters in K-6 elementary education! I currently work at State Farm Insurance and have been employed there for the past 11 years. I love my job and what I do, however I have a passion for kids. I have 4 kids of my own: Hannah (15), Hudson (11), Holden (7) and Madi (6)... and not to mention a loving husband, Dan! We are a crazy family that loves each other, forgives often, and smiles non-stop.
I am so excited about my Teaching Science Class! We are going to learn how to make science class fun! I know that my previous experience with science was memorization and reading. I cannot wait to apply hands-on activities to my future classroom!
Our first activity was very adventurous! We were given bones and were told to recreate a dinosaur! How exciting it was to see everyone's creation! Some were similar, some were different and no one was correct! To see younger kids working together to complete this activity brings a smile to my face! I know how excited they will be trying to decide where the bones go... This activity can last a day or even a week!

I love that you added that no one was correct! The best thing about science, to me, is that being correct is boring. When you are correct, that means the work is over! Failure only needs to more learning and more discovery! Science isn't about "getting it right," it's about the process of discovery.
