Who Doesn't Love a Family Science Night?
Science is important because it excites and engages students in learning, and an effective Family Science Night would create an environment where families can learn the value of hands-on, inquiry based science and how science integrates the teaching of science processes, content, reading, math and critical thinking skills.
Engage families in science.
Inspire exploration and learning.
Connect with classroom instruction.
Encourage positive attitudes about science.
This is an easy way for you to connect to the community and get the parents of your students involved!

Bravo! I like the concept of Family Science Night as a compliment to Family Math Night. It is never a disappointment when families come together at school to promote student learning.
ReplyDeleteI was listening to IB educators talk about how they completely revamped their parent involvement by changing it from having formal "meeting" to discuss the kids and school into celebrations of learning like what is suggested by Family Science or (yes Cheree)Math Night. It sounds like fun. They had mentioned that parent involvement, especially of minority and Latino parents who are often difficult to engage, shot up after the change.
