Dear Students and Parents:
Our first field trip was truly a success, thanks to everyone involved. We got to experience what a real scientist's job is like and we learned that it isn't just all labwork. At times, people's lives actually depend on the scientific facts, data, and decisions. That is what makes science so critical to everyday life. All of you who were able to attend this field trip got to see that for yourselves and it also gave you a chance to put the skills you learned in my classroom to use in a real life situation. As the commanders stated to us, you were allowed to demonstrate your high order thinking skills. Through this and through your exemplary behavior at both the Challenger and the MOSH, you have displayed what we at Julia Landon are all about, true leadership.
That said, this was my first field trip experience with you and it was such a positive one that I am now considering several others that I could posibly tie in with what we'll be learning about in class. Nothing's set in stone yet, however. That said, I will be posting up pictures and/or vids of our experience today.
P.S.-- Extra credit for those who went on the field trip-- Write a letter of Thanks to the commanders of the Challenger Program and to the MOSH for allowing us a chance at some hands-on learning outside the school walls.
For those who did not go--have the work from today in your notes section for the first notebook check of the nine weeks (Next Friday, 1/30/2009)
Mr. Hubbard
