Welcome back parents & students

          Well it's another great year at Blue Ridge Elementary and I'm glad to be back as the Science Specialist!  Time surely does fly, I can't believe this is my 7th year at Blue Ridge, as I am truly blessed to be here.  The Science Lab is fully operational and ready for experimenting, exploring, evaluating, and analyzing!  The first couple of weeks of school I'll be reviewing Science Lab Safety procedures with the students and informing them general guidelines to adhere to while in the Lab. Here is a quick video, I'll be sharing with the students about safety in the Science Lab.  Although the Science Lab is in full operation the broadcast team is not quite there yet.  I'm still waiting on the equipment to be connected back together (Which should be very soon) and then I will hold auditions for crew members with our 4th and 5th graders.  I was really impressed with the dedication our students showed last year being apart of the inaugural year of BRE Eagle News.  Most of the students came everyday at 7:30am to prepare, rehearse, and film the news.  Two of our students even received district recognition for their efforts as news anchors, and spoke this summer at a teacher training about how they prepared for and enjoyed being a news anchor. The News station was truly an enjoyable experience for me and I can't wait until I get my new news crew.  Remember parents and students, subscribe to this Blog to get updates on what activities/investigations your students are doing in the Science Lab and to keep abreast with the upcoming Science Fair!  Until next time, have a great day!

The soon to be functional Broadcast area! (positive thinking)
