Check Out What We Will Be Doing This Year

A scope and sequence is a teacher's way of planning out what they will be covering over the entire year in each subect. Feel free to check out mine by clicking the link below.



Teaching With Technology overview

In the coming weeks we will be doing a technology based weather unit. We will be using technology to enhance our learning. I have provided an overview of the projects that we will be doing, and the technology that we will be using. I have indicated why it will enhance the child's learning using technology in our learning. Please click here to see our overview.

Lesson Plans

 * Let's Find a Region || Lesson 1 || In this activity I have provided a word document with information about the different climate regions. It is up to the students to read the information and decide on a region that they would like to study for our weather unit. Students will complete a scavenger hunt for the second word document. ||
 * Clouds Clouds and More Clouds || Lesson 2 || In this lesson the students will be going on a different scavenger hunt. This is all about finding information using the internet. The students will be provided with the questions and websites they just have to find the information within those websites. ||

 * The Weathermen || Lesson 5 || Here the students will be using a program to make a podcast making severe weather forecasts. ||
 * I'm a Little Raindrop || Lesson 6 || The students will be using a Web 2.0 tool to create a book about the Water Cycle. They can be as creative as they want in creating their book. ||
 * Let's Review || Lesson 7 || In This lesson the students will be using another Web 2.0 tool to review and complete a quiz. The students can use the flash cards that I have provided, or they can make there own following my example. They will then create some cards so that their fellow students may use the cards, and complete the quiz. ||
 * Beginning of Weather Journal || Lesson 8 || For this lesson I have provided six YouTube videos for the children to view. These videos include different types of severe weather, clouds, and the Water Cycle. It also includes two videos about how to use PhotoStory for our next lesson. ||
 * It's Precipitating Somewhere || Lesson 9 || This lesson the students will use a website that I have provided to complete a precipitation graph. ||
 * Don't Get Blown Away! || Lesson 10 || In this lesson the children will watch a video that I have created using Animoto. This video gives a detailed description of wind, and what it is. The students will then do a little bit of research themselves about different experiments about wind, and they will create a presentation about their experiment using their newly gained knowledge from the video. ||
