Collaboration!!! (A PURRRFECTLY SPLENDID TEAM)

My goal of more interdisciplinary collaboration is becoming a reality! This past week I have worked very hard to teach APA formatting to the 8th graders who are writing research papers/genetic position papers in English and science. I also helped the 7th graders learn how to cite their sources for their human body projects in science. Next, I will be working with the social studies teacher on debates with 7th grade and then on civilizations and different government types with the 8th graders. I will also stand in as the Indian Trader for their colonization game. The special education teacher is helping me to better meet the needs of my 5th graders who span a great range of ability, and we are going to work together to create a spelling program to begin correcting the issues we see in all grades with spelling and vocabulary development. I am just so excited to have such a fabulous team of professionals to work with!
