Students compared and contrasted animal senses to human senses by watching several videos.  Students also read passages about animal and human senses.  Students then completed the SOS strategy (get VENN-y) with a VENN diagram where they listed the similarities and differences between animal senses and human senses.

Students constructed towers made of candy corn and toothpicks. We used the STEM design engineering loop and the attached organizer.

# data[].attributes.body
Students brainstormed what they thought candy corn is made of (incorporating their prior knowledge of matter).  They predicted what would happen when put in water and made a hypothesis.  Then, they conducted an experiment with candy corn in water, writing and drawing observations, at different time intervals.  They then watched the following video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFSbNT16Ckg
After, they wrote their conclusion based on their experiment and the video.
The 4 C's that were focused on were: communication (written)

In pairs, students watched videos on a board I created. They also had a graphic organizer I created where they recorded answers about signals offspring/parent animals make.

We have done several hands on measurement activities in our room. Students created their own rulers using a standard unit of measurement.

To kick off our geometry unit, we started with a wonder board for kids to notate what they notice and what they wondered the shapes had in common.

As a culminating activity on landforms my students worked with a partner to create a board on a landform of their choice. Each board had to include at least a definition of the landform and two types of media. The students then presented their boards to the class.

In 2nd grade, our end of the year unit is on healthy bodies/eating. We were blessed with Farm to You coming and presenting to our whole school, a field trip to Appleseeds where we learned about growing food, healthy eating, and the kids got to pick vegetables from the garden and use them to prepare a healthy snack. We also had a food services manager from the schools come and talk to our kids about her job, the decisions she makes, and a tour of the kitchen! Our unit culminated with students working in small groups to create a menu featuring nutritious selections, producing the menu using the Smore website, and then illustrating one of their choices and sharing with another class.

My kindergarten students collaborated to discover facts about a continent of his/her choice using books, teacher created boards with video clips from Discovery Ed, Pebble Go and  Brain Pop Jr. After deciding what to include in their presentation- following guidelines from a rubric, each from the group created a slide on Educreations using images, animations and voice recording- which lead to a collaborative presentation on their continent.
