After the last session today was over at 6:00 PM, I went out for dinner.  I didn’t try to eavesdrop on the nearby table, but when I heard science notebook, nature study, and rubric, I knew I was sitting near some teachers. They were from Montgomery County, Maryland, and an earlier session had them so excited, they were working right through dinner (on a Saturday night!). By the time they invited me to join them, they had a multi-page to-do list and preliminary sketches for a student notebook. I hope their colleagues and administrators appreciate their dedication and enthusiasm! I also hope they share their results at a future conference or in Science & Children.
