Science/Homecoming
Have any of you purchased a Science series that you would recommend. Or do you have one that you would recommend that we not even look at?
Does your community have a Homecoming Parade? Who runs it? (the school?) Are the elementary teachers and classroom involved?
Thanks

Homecoming parade and activities are organized by the student council.

We have a 2000 copyright version of Harcourt Science - so will need to update

We had a committee looking for a new science series last year. They worked on it throughout the year. We had three presentations to our selection committee and they selected the Scott Foresman Science. They thought this series followed the standards and was the best deal available.
Our elementary does participate in the parade. The parade is organized by community members.

We participate in Homecoming. The Student Council organizes and gives us the theme. All grades walk in the parade except Kindergarten. The PTO buys candy for our students that we hand out after the parade. Thanks, Sandra McGeough at Sioux Valley in Volga

We are also looking at science curriculum (go figure - wish I was a science text book salesperson). Homecoming looks the same in Garretson as in Coleman.

We hope to look at the SCIS kits for Kindergarten and the FOSS kits for the upper grades. These fit the Science Standards and have all the materials for hands-on interactions in all areas.
