Clueless in Seattle

About me

Location	Helena, Mt, United States
Introduction	I teach first grade at Rossiter Elementary School in Helena, MT. I absolutely love it. My students never cease to amaze me. I have been very much in to inquiry based science for the past two years. It is incredible the capacity my first graders have. They astound me every time we do science. They design their own investigations for Pete's sake. All I have to do is plant the seed and get out of the way. I use technology in science to help with concepts that are too large for 6 year old understanding. For example, we explored Newton's Laws (I kid you not) and used NSTA video to help solidify the laws. I have teenagers and a six year old so I feel very confident in my mentors here at home. I may end up doing a lot of their laundry as trade for their help but I don't mind. I'm very excited in anything that boosts student learning and understanding.
