This was a Unit Plan I wrote for my substitute when I had to be out on medical leave. Therefore, there's no collaboration and it follows a set routine. *Remix- added sequencing activity that can be done with Paperbag Princess from Lesson Planet
Uses Sandburg's poem to introduce the TPCASTT analysis tool.
In this lesson students create large story maps to retell and familiar text. Students record themselves and place QR codes along the story map. Students then code Sphero Robots, dressed as main characters, to make their way through each part of the story.
Behavior log for tracking specific student behavior
Students need exposures to careers that interest them. This activity provides them time to form their own concepts and ideas reguarding jobs that interest them. They can be given help as needed, but the finished product will be all theirs.
Summary: Students will receive a choice board of different activities and will have to choose one. After choosing their activity, students can be placed into small groups to work collaboratively or can work independently. Each team/student will be presenting to either the whole class or their small group.
In this lesson, students will expand their understanding of bees and their roles. After reading a short set of poems, students will discuss and record how each of the bee roles impacts pollination. Then using available devices or paper, guided by a rubric, students will create a digital art piece of bees and hives then they record their understanding of bees’ roles. Finally, in a gallery walk, students will provide I SEE, I THINK, I WONDER critical feedback to peers either with dry-erase markers on white tables or sticky notes.
This is a fun activity/game that allows students to :
think
plan
share
discuss
problem solve
rationalize
defend their stance
ask questions
Weather ForecastingExplain some about weather forecasting to the students. Have them watch a weather forecast on a SmartBoard or on their devices. Share how meteorologists predict what the weather will be like later today, tomorrow, or even next week. Share how they use previous weather to create computer models for weather predictions. They use observations. They can predict up to 7 days in the future with pretty good accuracy.
Day 1: draw maps of rooms in the school or the playground
Day 2: write directions of where they are on the map
Day 3: using their bee-bot and grid map, student A will read their written directions and student B will program the Bee-bot with partner A’s directions. The team will problem solve and make notes if the Bee-bot does not locate partner A. Students will then switch roles.
Can you use things from around the house and/or your yard to build houses like the three little pigs? Try a house out of straw (or a close substitute), stick...
Join Kathy as she tells you the story of the 3 Little Pigs, but - trust us - this is a version you have never heard before. Don't forget to check out part 2.
