I received two responses from classmates about my mentoring project (from Christine and Heather) and I appreciated their thoughtful questions and positive comments. Their specific questions helped me clarify details in my proposal. Several posts by others, like Christine, laid out weekly goals on their timeline. I had my goals written on a calendar in my plan book, but it didn't occur to me to write them out in my proposal. I changed that and added the weekly goals into my proposal on Livetext. Another change I made was the length of the mentoring project, and shortened it for the purposes of this class. I think the mentoring, however, will continue as needed throughout the year.
This weekend I came across several great resources that I linked to the student research page on my classroom website. We are studying the life cycle and anatomy of salmon, and I wanted to add links for students to use. I plan on sharing these with my teaching partner in case he wants to add something like this to his site. Here is a link to that page on my class site:
