Today the class made their first observation on the butterflies they have in their classroom.
Before she let the students go she created an anchor chart of how scientists observe.
She focused on the fact they use senses to gether new information.
She told them they'll add more stuff to it later

"You are a scientist"
Yesterday my host teacher introduced science notebooks and they students made their first entry.
Their first entry prompt was, "Draw a picture of a scientists and then write five words that describe what a scients does"
Students typically draw people in white lab coats with funny shaped bottles and colorful liquids.
She then had them share what they drew by sitting in a large circle on the carpet. Once they shared and did an eye walk (a gallery walk with their eyes) she told them what she thought a scientist was. She then pulled up a class picture of the students.
She proceded to tell them that they were all scientists and they went over the description words and related how they do that.
