Just a little something I have been working on for my classroom:

I am decorating a wall that focuses on careers in science each unit. Our school is very centered on careers and encouraging our kids to go to college. This is my board for the beginning of the year/Unit 1 which is an intro to science.

Miss Bing’s Favorite Scientists  

Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall is famous for her extensive studies of chimpanzee behavior. She kept detailed records that educated humans about complex chimpanzee behavior patterns, abilities to form emotional relationships and their intelligence. 

Severo Ochoa

Severo Ochoa was born in Spain and later came to live in the United States. He won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the synthesis of RNA. RNA carries hereditary qualities in reproduction.

George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver was born a slave near the end of the Civil War. As an agricultural researcher and educator, he came up with innovative agricultural processes and developed new applications for agricultural products, like the peanut.

Gregor Mendel

Gregor Mendel was a priest and a scientist. He is often referred to as the Father of Genetics because of his extensive studies about inheritance and heredity.

Violet Bing

Violet Bing was my grandmother. She received a degree in Chemistry from Hunter College in New York. Although she was a great student, she was unable to obtain a job in the science field. She was discriminated against because she was an Asian woman.

I have to go in today at 11am and we have Parent Meet and Greets until 7pm. I am SO excited to finally meet the parents (and some kids)! Coral pumps will for sure be worn tonight!
