Dirty Hands!
Today the class made terrariums in pop bottles. They planted grass seed, sealed the top with saran wrap and will begin watching the water cycle. Who would have guessed that we could have 28 water cycles in one room!!!
This will be my 14th year of teaching at Ivy Hill Elementary School in Arlington Heights, IL. I taught 9 years in grades 4 and 5 and am currently the LMC Director. I went to Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, Illinois, Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas and National-Louis University in Evanston, Illinois. I have a Masters in Education and have completed an English as a Second Language and Library Media endorsement. I am married, have 3 children, and live in Northbrook, Illinois.
