|  | | | | Welcome to Ms. Fiedler's Life Science Classes! | | We are looking forward to kicking off another school year in style! After going over the mandatory expectations and safety lessons we are going to learn how to do our very own experiments. By the end of the first trimester every student at Ramsey will be expected to write a lab report on their individual experiment.
Our second unit will cover how scientists classify organisms and why in the world they use that crazy language - Latin! The project for this unit will get us outside and will have us classifying the trees around our school and homes.

Expectations
The following expectations will be/have been discussed with students at the beginning of the school year. Periodically throughout the school year we will review expectations, but all students are expected to follow these guidelines for appropriate student behavior at all times. In addition to school rules our classroom expectations are as follows:
- Be on time to class (that means students being in their seats when the bell rings)
- Listen when the teacher or classmates are speaking
- Stay in your seat during class (i.e. no wandering around to see friends)
- Bring something to write with to class (Ms. Fiedler doesn't want to support the pencil industry all by herself).

science department should contact that information is greatly
appreciated.

About Ms. Fiedler
All About Ms. Fiedler....
Education
Ms. Fiedler attended the University of Minnesota here in the
Twin Cities for
Nutrition Science and Biology with a minor in Spanish. After a year
away from the University she returned to begin a Master's program in
Science Education.
Interests
Before starting graduate school Ms. Fiedler took
a year off and planned to move to Colorado. Somehow she found herself
in the Andes Mountains of South America
instead. Her
6 1/2 months in South America inspired a new hobby of
researching and planning trips abroad. This includes finding volunteer
opportunities, planning travel routes, and learning local languages.
During
the summer of 2006 she canoed the Mississippi River from the
headwaters at Lake Itasca to the Gulf of Mexico. The trip covered 2,300
miles, took 72 days! Along the way she helped team
"Kanoeing for Katrina" in an effort to raise money to refurbish and
purchase musical instruments
for students. Summer 2008
included a hike across England along Hadrian's Wall, built in the
second century. In 2009 Ms. Fiedler participated in a teaching
internship in Thailand to help complete requirements for her master's
degree. She followed that up with a trip to East Africa where she
learned about some amazing wildlife and geography first hand.
Volunteering
Past
volunteering abroad experiences include rehabilitating monkeys in Bolivia,
teaching English and volleyball in Brasil, and working for a Humane
Society in Puerto Rico.
What's next? Good question... Any ideas? |
