= = =Lisa Peters= I am a third grade teacher at the Annie R. Morgan Elementary School. I have been an educator for about 14 years and haven't lost my mind or my zeal as yet. Yay, me. (I wonder if those days in elementary school holding classes while the teacher was out counts? Hmmm? If so then I've been in education over 20years. :o)) This will be my first year in third grade, (a grade I've always wanted to teach by the way) so I am hoping that my students and I will learn and grow together. During the summer I attended a technology workshop "TNT Summer Institute-Integrating Technology". I learned what a wiki was. Yes a wiki, not a Wookiiee.:) I think this might turn out to be a pretty adventurous year for me as well as my kids. I suppose if we use the "force" everything will turn out just right.

Here is a sample of a poetry assignment that I did during that workshop. media type="file" key="picture perfect.wmv"  This is my first lesson plan for TNT. This is my second plans for TNT.

This first lesson is for use in weeks 2-4 of the school year. It is a science lesson on plants. The song below is used to give students an introduction to photosynthesis. A little deep for third grade, but they have the exposure which they can store for later use. media type="custom" key="4093815"
