Second and third grade students research a planet from our solar system after completing a science unit on space.

The students also construct models of their planet using balloons, paper mache, and paint.

Second grade students add two 3-digit numbers by representing hundreds with big cheezits, tens with pretzel sticks, and ones with chocolate chips on charts. The students work through addition problems, sharing their solutions once they have completed the problem. They practice renaming ones that have a value of more than ten by grouping the chocolate chips and swapping them out for their pretzel sticks. The students are permitted to eat the food once they have finished the lesson.

The students also model good oral presentation technique while speaking about their animal and their report in front of classmates and parents.

In a hands-on activity, second and third grade students create letters by manipulating pipe cleaners. Once the letters have been formed, the students spell out key words from their spelling lists using the pipe cleaner letters.

Fourth grade students work with partners to plan, write, and act out an original interpretation of a portion of the story or a sequel to the story. Students use teamwork and understanding of characters and story plot to plan their own skit.

Fourth grade students create both front and back cover of book, including title, author, and story summary as an alternative to typical book reports. Students show understanding of main idea of the story and use creativity to illustrate and summarize the story.
