Very useful for those abstract skills that our students still need to master. The master vocabulary list will be extremely useful when examining what my students know and still need to know.]]> 2016-10-11 14:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/brenda_swirczy1/q8hy6yah1ups/wish/129813471 https://padlet.com/brenda_swirczy1/q8hy6yah1ups/wish/129819590 We found that having the master vocabulary organized by scope and grade level was useful!!

I love the information given in Stemscopedia, but it is difficult to give it purpose and make it interesting. It will be so easy to teach students to use these graphic organizers as they read in Stemscopedia. I also love how I can tie it in with almost anything I am teaching in reading at the time. ]]> 2016-10-11 15:30:01 UTC https://padlet.com/brenda_swirczy1/q8hy6yah1ups/wish/129852526 ruth_camacho https://padlet.com/brenda_swirczy1/q8hy6yah1ups/wish/129854729 W.T.FRANCISCO
I love the way I can integrate Science to my ELAR/SLAR. It is AMAZING to have Science available both in English and Spanish.
