For any who did not get a chance to read the wonderfully supportive statement by the National Science Teachers Association president, Alan McCormack in the 12/7/10 NSTA Reports It’s Time for More Early Childhood Science, take a look and then make a copy for your director, principal, and superintendant. You might want to post it or quote from it in a note home to your students’ families. Let them know that it is not only early childhood educators who believe that “We need to help kids begin their magnificent journey into science as early in life as possible.” Teachers in middle and high school want their students to come to class having had many experiences with the natural world.
