In this unit, students will explore literature about Africa and exhibit an interest in learning more about it. This unit will introduce them to the seven continents of the world.
In this lesson, students write and evaluate algebraic expressions at specific values. They will also use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem.
In this lesson, students will read many of Patricia Polacco’s books and other books written about families from other authors. Students will make connections from their own family experiences to some of Patricia Polacco's family experiences. Students will pay close attention to the characters, setting, problem, and solution in the text and make their own family book.
In this lesson, students will read 'Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon', 'Odd Velvet', 'Hooray for Wodney Wat', and several other books. The students will study the characters feelings and compare the characters. Students will have activities that involve emotions and feelings.
In this lesson, students complete several activities that involve coordinates and graph paper given the following invitation to learn: "Suppose you are having a birthday party and a friend you have invited has asked you for directions from the school to your house. You tell them it is five blocks away. Is this enough information for them to find your house?"
In this lesson, students will learn that there are rules to be followed or jobs to be done in the classroom. Students will also learn how to listen and speak to others.
Students will use dominoes to learn how to represent a graphical model for adding unlike fractions.
In these activities students will understand seasons and the changes they bring. Students will learn a song about seasons and months of the year, draw and write in their science journals about the seasons to illustrate their understanding.
In this activity, students will explore five different "Discovery Buckets." These buckets will give them opportunities to practice expressing both their thoughts and feelings.
In this lesson, students will read 'My Circle of Seasons' by Gerda Muller. Students will be broken up into groups and assigned a season. Students will make a quilt and will write a cinquain about their season.
In this lesson, students will use hands-on activities to solve measurement problems. Students will make life like models of their body and then measure different parts of the model.
In this lesson plan, students use integers to represent real-world situations. They will also read and identify integers, locate integers on a number line and compare and order integers.
In this lesson, students will learn about retelling and performing stories from other cultures.
In this lesson, students will graph translations (slides) and reflections (flips) on a coordinate plane. The lesson is introduced by having students move across the room to demonstrate translations and reflections.
In this lesson, students translate verbal expressions to algebraic expressions.
