This week I got to meet my brand new scientist.  We learned about our classroom procedures  and class policies through our Classroom Scavenger Hunt.  Because we are REAL scientist, we need to have our TRUSTY, DUSTY notebook.  Next, we organized our Science Interactive Notebook. For SIXTH graders, they did an AWESOME JOB.  Student learned that they get to be CREATIVE on the LEFT side and the right side is restricted to Mrs. DuBose. On Thursday, we took a MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE “TEST” and the students figured out the ways that they were smart.  On Friday, we had did “DRAW A SCIENTIST” and the students learned that we all have stereotypes of what a scientist is.  As I suspected most of my students thought that scientist were MALE, OLD, CRAZY/WEIRD, and nerdy! There job over the LABOR DAY weekend is to find a picture of themselves and PASTE it over the face of the scientist they DREW so that they can see that they VISUALIZE themselves as scientists.
