Deanna wants to discuss stress levels

 We’re getting toward the end of our semester and with that comes the stress of assignments and exams! What are some ways that you deal with the stress of school work? And does it help? Also if one of your students ever came up to you and told you that he/she was feeling stressed, what is something you would do as a teacher to help?

Dr. Ries is interested in your outlook on science

 What has been your experience in the area of science?   Did you enjoy science while you were in elementary school?   Which of your teachers was an effective science teacher?   Why was that teacher effective?   What strategies did he/she use to "pique your interest?" Do you think that science should be taught at the elementary level? How many hours a week should be devoted to science at the K-6 level?   How confident do you feel about teaching science at the elementary level?     

Adelkis is interested in how our first lessons have gone

 Most of us have probably taught our first lesson by now. How did your first lesson go? What did you teach? How did the students respond to the lesson? Were you able to effectively manage the class? Did everything go as you expected? What would you change about it if you could go back and change it?
