The boys and girls in Room Ten learned the names of different kinds of clouds. Later they used thermometers, and they measured rainfall. They looked at weather maps and predicted the weather. They found out what kind of weather came with different kinds of clouds. In fact, they got quite good at predicting the weather and proudly used the scientific names of clouds in their classroom weather reports.
Teachers expect all students to succeed and set high goals for themselves.
Teachers believe all their students can learn, regardless of their native language, gender, race, or ethnicity. If the class is divided into groups, be sure your child is in a group with students of mixed abilities. Teachers have opportunities to improve their science teaching skills. When teachers go to science workshops, in-service days, or courses, they can become more skilled and enthusiastic. This benefits students.
