So, what do teachers really do when they are gone?

Do you ever wonder what your teachers do when they are gone? Well, today we were gone to a science training. We actually had our final training for our "Structures of Life" science kit. Yep...that's right....we got to visit the seeds, crayfish and snails one last time! It was so much fun.

This time, we even learned some more. We practiced observing them. We had to draw them from three different views. That was hard! We talked about what we saw them doing and we shared what we learned from our students. That's right....we learn from you, too!

And then, we did something completely new! We explored "Bess Beetles"! We knew they were an option, but we were nervous about them so we chose to work with Land Snails instead this year. Guess what! We liked them!

Do you remember the snail pull?

The beetles pull washers as well.....we have to use dental floss tho! :) I didn't get a video of them but we are thinking they might actually be stronger than the snail but we aren't sure yet.

This video is blurry but I couldn't resist these "snugglin' snails".

You can see that we learn a lot and we do have fun at science workshops, but I do prefer to be in class with you!
