My Project

Our mini scientists have been completing choice board projects throughout the year to choose how they represent their understanding of the learning. They have loved being able to choose from different options and have taken great ownership in their projects! Coming up we will be learning about weather & climate, plate tectonics, natural disasters, and natural resources. I want to continue to give my students the power to create and learn something through meaningful work that they will absolutely enjoy!

By having a classroom iPad, I will be able to expand those choice board options by including recordings of podcasts, interviews, news reports, skits and so much more.

While working on these projects, labs, experiments, and other activities students receive tickets anytime they show collaboration, respect, and professionalism. On Friday's tickets are drawn, and those students get to pick from the prize box. Adding candy, stickers, mechanical pencils, ChapStick, and snacks to the prize box will motivate students to continue to show positivity in the classroom!
