Hands-on science is the best vocab teacher.

An Edutopia article highlights 3 strategies that make vocab stick - teach vocab in context, use movement (TPR), word parts + visuals (morphology), and interactive word walls/anchor charts.

In strong science classrooms, students do the talking.

Why? Because talking through ideas helps students reason, use evidence, and build deeper understanding—just like real scientists. 🔬💬

Why BOCES 4 Science?
One of the reasons is feedback like this from a recent 4th grade workshop:

“Our training was one of the best we have ever had. We came away with great strategies and a better understanding of what we are teaching. Very well done!”

☀ Fun in the Sunshine! ☀

Yesterday, our Elementary School students got to spend some time in the sunshine, playing, sledding, and having fun! What a gift to be able to spend time with friends outdoors. 💙

Second graders enjoyed a Jan Brett “book tasting,” exploring books through titles, genres, and key details like characters and setting. Students discussed their picks, voted on a favorite, and ended with a read-aloud. A fun way to build a love of reading!
