Paul Guerino, guest speaker from the Chicago Field Museum, shares his knowledge on Geology with Seneca’s Sixth Grade Class
Guerino Really Rocks!
Hands were raised as guest speaker Paul Guerino sparked enthusiasm in the classroom. Seneca Grade School students listened attentively as Mr. Guerino spoke on the formation of acid rain, the effects of acid rain on the environment, as well as rocks and erosion. Guerino’s presentation served a culminating activity for the unit of study in Science teacher, Julie Yunker-Craig’s classroom. “Mr. Guerino connects with the students. He presents the material with enthusiasm and knowledge”, states Craig. Guerino gains the students’ attention by painting a picture. “Pretend you are a leaf on a tree,” tells Guerino, walking the students through the effects of acidity on plant life. Both Paul and Julie served on the instructional education team for the IAAP (Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers) summer teacher workshop program. Julie Yunker-Craig has served as the Keynote speaker for the IAAP convention in past years. Guerino makes sand slides and rock samples for the IAAP convention as well as many schools throughout Illinois. Seneca’s sixth grade students benefited from Mr. Guerino’s knowledge on geology this past week. Guerino conducted a sand slide presentation and microscope lab with Craig’s classes. Guerino and Craig co-taught a rock identification lab including the construction of rock kits. The students’ eyes light up when Guerino brings rock samples for them to keep. This lifelong teacher really rocks!

Seventh grader, Hailey, did a great job representing SGS with pride. She made it through the first two rounds before being eliminated in an incredibly challenging third round. On March 11, she and the top sixth and eighth grade spellers from SGS will compete at our annual Conference Spelling Bee.
