The buzz of the room...
The chatter of groups introducing themselves to one another...
The laughter of people sharing summer adventures...
The anticipation of something new...
...It's the excitement of science curriculum revision. Alright...there may be only a few of us who get that jazzed about curriculum writing, but truly, the work that's been done over the past two days analyzing and prioritizing standards is exciting! We are on a journey in Lindbergh to look at our instruction differently, to provide more integrated and authentic learning opportunities. Science, like so many other curricular areas, is a window into our children's future, and by getting this right, we set up thousands of children for success as adults. No pressure, curriculum team!
