Meet Mrs. Becker!
My name is Mrs. Becker and I am a Science, Yearbook and BASES teacher at Sullivan Heights Secondary.

But my love for science continued and I went to University to get a BSc in Biology and Physics and then a BEd in secondary education and I LOVE IT. I can't imagine loving anything more (except maybe a field trip to the moon?) I love travel of all sorts. I spent last summer on a 22 state road trip across the united states - from the Pacific Ocean in White Rock to the Atlantic Ocean in North Carolina - and many things in between. I am also passionate about photography - hence all the pictures on this blog! I started teaching BASES in my very first semester of teaching, and have been doing it part-time ever since. I love working and Sullivan Heights and with this class and am looking forward to an exciting year!

Re-energized and GO GO GROW!!!
Re-energized from a long Thanksgiving weekend, students returned to a switch in block order and a 'WHIR' of activities!
In Science, our beans were given some TLC in the Fuller residence over the long weekend, as the students were concerned that 3 days would be too long without water. One of our grade 8 students, Jeena, googled the scientific name for our bean and we made out NYB (name your bean) chart - aka Phaseolus Vulgaris. GROW LITTLE BEANS!!!!
In preparation for our BASES MARKET, the students will be earning paper money that can be traded for plastic replicas of actual moey and then go SHOPPING for items from the treasure box. We hung a money line in the classroom and the students made money bags and clothes-pinned them to the line. We look forward to the grand opening of our BASES market, sometime in November.
Students are getting EXCITED for the upcoming trip to the pumpkin patch on October 20. We will be visiting the Apple Barn in Abbotsford and learning about apples and pumpkins. We will be returning with a pumpin each so they can carve them the following week. We are in the initial stages of planning for Halloween in the BASES room.
And of course students have a multitude of projects and academic work on the go! Learning about measurement, our daily fast 5, a continents quiz, current events, journaling (and posing for the camera) are all part of a hard days work in B104. As per usual - BASES is BUZZING!
