My NSTA / Peers / Makensy Stump

I am currently a senior at Wright State University Lake Campus where I am majoring in Early Childhood Education. For the 2019-2020 school year, I will be student teaching in first grade. I plan to graduate in the spring of 2020 with a degree in Early Childhood Education and with an ECE Generalist Endorsement in Grades 4-5. I enjoy antiquing, riding four-wheelers, mushroom hunting, fishing, shopping, and spending time with my family and friends.

I am fascinated by weather and enjoy watching the Weather Channel every day to get the latest weather reports. I even have the Weather Channel app that I check frequently. I think it is so important for students to be ...

Rocks Review

This is the first SciPack I have completed, and I found it to be a great refresher and review on the different types of rocks and their classifications.

I will definitely be keeping this as a resource and referencing it in the future.

Flow of Matter and Energy in Ecosystems Review

This is the second SciPack I have completed, and I found it to be a great refresher on matter and energy flow in our ecosystems. I did find that the assessment seemed to be a bit trickier than the first SciPack I completed. I really enjoyed the break down of content and learning objectives at the end, making this relevant to teachers of multiple ages and grades. I will definitely be keeping this as a resource and referencing it in the future.
