My name is Miss Peevy and thank you for visiting my webpage. I received by teaching certification from North Georgia College and State University in 2011 in Secondary Education in Biology with a minor in art. I am currently working on my masters and hope to later on further specialize in higher areas of science as my teaching career progresses. Some of my interests include the outdoors, camping, working with exotic wildlife, and four- wheeling on the weekends. Some of the goals in my life include traveling to a least one different country during my lifetime, and perhaps create and sell some of my own art. Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science. Jules Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) French mathematician. Science is one of the more challenging areas of content when it comes to literacy. Science contains a vast amount of information filled with complex ideas and concepts created to challenge students and present them with new vocabulary. Summarizing and note taking are especially important. Therefore it is the challenge of the teacher not only to teach the content but to teach the student how to understand, develop and analyze their own conclusion to the solution. Science is a trial and error subject in which results are often surprising so it is especially important that the student not only know his or her facts but be able to state their opinions and results in a professional and viable manner. This allows the teacher to verify, read, and further evaluate the results with the student, without content literacy it would be very hard to teach anything let alone science in which information almost always has many steps that must be written down to be shared.If you have any needs or concerns toward my theory of context literacy or anything else please e-mail me at rpeevy1@Bellsouth.Net or (404)785-565 Please check out the world PowerPoint below. I thought that this was a great example of how individuals actually affect the universe by energy consumption. The pictures of earth are amazing! This PowerPoint was given to me by friendly teacher. I try to find the best examples to inspire my students to like Science. |
