| After reading all these resources, I have developed googly eyes! |
I watched a video on Mr.
Avery’s blog that showed student’s role playing ways to overcome peer
pressure. When I teach the health unit
on drugs and alcohol, video recording students as they practice ways to prevent
getting involved with the wrong crowd could be a great demonstration for the
class. Mr. Avery, a sixth grade
teacher, has many other interesting ideas on his blog as well. So check it out!
Mr. Salsich is a third grade
teacher and he participates in quad blogging.
Since I teach the same grade, there are multiple opportunities to
compare curriculum ideas. Presently, he
is teaching an informational writing unit on topic sentences with supporting
details. This is a requirement for third grade as part of the new Common Core State Standards. I
taught an informational unit in October. In February, my co-workers and I are
writing an informational reading and writing unit on explorers. Mr. Salsich
used a picture of a taco with the meat, lettuce, and cheese to represent the
topic sentence and supporting details.
Mrs. Lareau, a third grade
teacher, videotapes her students when they do book talks. This gave me the idea,
which I mentioned in a previous blog.
She teaches in Massachusetts and her class studies the Wampanoag Native
Americans. On her blog there is a game
for students about the Wampanoag Native Americans.
These are just a few of the
resources I have found using Google Reader. What a wonderful resource!
