Welcome to Mr. Peterson's Blog!

Hello to all,

I'm entering the world of blogging as a way to let the outside world into my classroom, including a detailed description of classroom activities, my approach to teaching and why I select certain activities for the students.   My goal is to paint a clear picture of what happens here at school so parents are better informed about what goes on in their child's life.  I will not be using student names or pictures of students.

I will try to update two or three times a week, maybe more, maybe less, time permitting.  If you click subscribe on the right-hand side you can receive an alert every time I make a new post.

Yesterday in science we started our study of seeds and plants.  We discussed the purpose of a hypothesis and made an educated guess about the number of seeds found in each string bean.  I passed out string beans to each student pair and they dissected it looking for seeds.  We created a graph based on the different amount of seeds in each bean.  Students love science and they were very attentive during the whole process.
