Theme: Who We Are and Inquiry to what it means to be human

Central Idea: Being openminded can help people cultivate a growth mindset to build relationships

Concepts to be Developed: change and perspective

Learning Engagement: Google Slides with pictures containing pictures of different places to live with sounds representing those places

Why: To help students visualize and conceptualize different locations and environments where people live. And answer the question: How might a change in your living situation impact your life?

Resources: google slides (pictures of locations and sounds), HMH curriculum book

When: Beginning of Social Studies Unit (Provocation)

# data[].attributes.body
Theme: Who we are

Central Idea: Making informed choices can impact our overall well-being.

Concepts: Responsibility, causation

Learning Experiences: Students will be looking at menus from local restaurants and fast food restaurants. They will need to make 3 meal choices for their day using a budge of $20. When looking at the menus they can choose to eat at 1 restaurant or multiple restaurants. They will be prompted to make healthy choices that we can reflect back for the reminder of the unit.

Why: Students will be using this provocation to reflect on their choices while we are learning in our health and ELA unit. As well, they will begin their budget making skills with this provation and we will reflect back on how well they did and if they used their addition strategies to be successful and not go over their limit.

Resources: menu, money(paper), worksheet to fill out money

Theme: Sharing the Planet

Central Idea: Living things interact with their environments for survival and growth.

Concepts to be Developed: We are going to focus on growth, survival, form, and function in order to get a better understanding of how living things interact in their unique habitats. All of these concepts relate within our ELA and Science units.

Learning Engagement: In our learning engagement, we will be dissecting a flower in order to identify the parts of the plant, how the parts work, and then discuss the importance of each part to impact the environment around the plant.
