1. Science:
Animal Unit
These examples of
student work were
activities that
supplemented lessons.
I gained information
from students about what
was learned,
misconceptions or
material that needed to be
re-taught.
2. Social Studies: Applying Content
It is important that there is a
connection between content and
students’ everyday lives.
In a social studies lesson, I
mentioned that one way someone
could use a map is to show a
friend how to get to your house.
A student did exactly that! She
made the map on the right to
show a new friend in our class
how to get to her house.
“Start out at the school. Go like a line right to the X and ring the
bell”
3. Social Studies:
Homework
At right and below are examples of
student work, in which they mapped
their bedrooms.
The homework assignment helped
students continue to practice making
maps of small and familiar areas.
4. Language Arts:
Working With
Words
Word Study
Comprised of:
*Word Wall
*Chunking
*Site Words
*Manipulating letters
*Rhyming Words
Rhyming Word Focus
This furthers the premise if you know
how to read/spell one word (at) you
also know ten others: bat, cat, hat, fat,
mat, sat, flat, chat, pat, rat.
5. Every Day Math
Curriculum
Various math games enabled great
exploration of content topics,
which included:
Domino Addition
• Addition
•Subtraction
•Place Value
•Time
Addition Top-It Number Scroll
•Number Sense
•Money
9. Differentiated Reading
Instruction:
Every student had
his/her own reading bag
that contained ‘just right
books’ that were at the
appropriate instructional
level.
