      This can be a fun project for the students to make their own "house" and "families." Teachers can make a social studies connection by trying to arrange the houses in two rows facing each other. Number the houses on the right with even numbers and the ones on the left with odd … just like the houses on a real-life street.

      The picture for this activity looks really cute. I wonder how hard it would be for little ones to draw faces on craft sticks. You'd probably want to put newspaper down on the desks and be prepared to have marker on their hands, but still, it looks like an engaging activity that would be worth a little mess.

    Most five-year-olds master counting out loud long before they walk into kindergarten. This is always exciting to watch, but it doesn't mean that kids truly understand what numbers mean. Kindergarten teachers want to make sure that kids can count objects, but also connect groups of things to abstract numbers. This whimsical craft helps kids do just that, and reuses empty milk cartons to boot.

      Very cool website.  This could be a place to discuss African American scientist, George Alcorn.  (invented the Imaging XRay Spectrometer.)  Black History Month opportunity

    VERY cool Earth Science/Space crossover project.  Students can send in a rock from their area, and NASA will use a special tool (like the one on the Mars Exploration Rovers) to tell you what it's made of.  Students could compare rocks on Earth to the rocks found on Mars.   Class can view and print various rock pictures from this website and create their own rock book, differentiating by ability.  (could be categorized by color, composition, geographic location, etc.)  It can be expanded as needed.  Kindergarten example would be to create a journal entitled "My Rock Collection."  They would find pictures of rocks that are blue, red, yellow, green, purple, etc and categorize them.

      Sticky Note: I choose a kindergarten standard for this because it could be easily manipulated to fit this standard. They could be grouping these based on how high they bounce. It could also be used with higher grade levels with math and doing measuring, graphs and data (range, mean, median, mode, etc).

      Great for ESL.  Can easily be adapted for higher ability students as well.  Can also be adapted if no camera or computer is available 
  • Lori Jones on 19 Feb 12
     
    Students will use a camera to investigate and collect data on living and non-living things.  They will compare living things to non-living things, and keep a record of their findings.  (scrapbook). Extension:  Easy to extend for higher ability students by having them write their observations along with the pictures.  (i.e. compare why they categorize something as "living or non-living." ESL:  Easy activity for students with a language barrier as it is a picture driven lesson.  Students will learn through their own observations and the pictures they keep. Adaptation:  Could easily be adapted to be an internet research project or magazine research project (students cut out pictures to keep.)

      This goes with the Blubber worksheet from the other website about Polar Bear Blubber.
  • Activity: Blubber GloveThis teacher assisted activity will help the children to understand how the layer of blubber keeps the polar bear warm. I got this idea from the (Editors of Publications International, Ltd). These are the items you will need: Crisco, 1 cup 2 large zip-lock bags Bucket for ice and water Fill the bowl with ice and water. With one bag filled with the shortening, the child places his hand in the other zip-lock bag, used as a glove. He then slides it into the bag of "blubber". Seal the edges on each side as close to the child's hand as possible. Help the child to swish the shortening evenly around his hand, then dip it into the bucket of ice water. As the child tests the ice water with the other hand, ask to compare how it felt with and without the "blubber glove". Make a chart to record the student's observations, with and without the "blubber". Explain that the polar bear has up to 4 inches of blubber that insulates his body to keep him warm.

      This activity can be extended as students learn new numbers and become more fluent with counting.
  • Mary Jo Mack on 31 Jan 12
     
    One-to-one correspondence is an important skill that needs to be mastered in kindergarten. In a nutshell, one-to-one correspondence means children are able to count a group of objects, while touching each object, one at a time. (Kind of like that one potato game...) While this concept might seem obvious, it's more advanced than just counting out loud, which is called "rote counting" because it takes things to the next level-- associating spoken numbers with real objects.

      Adaptions: you can adapt this lesson by having ELL and special need students find the flowers and sketch them for their group, then they can assist the group in identifying the habitat and descriptions. (This will help ELL students enhance their vocabulary) Extensions: You can extend this activiy by having students create a venn diagram and identify similarities and differences. Older grades can also extend the activity by researching their plants/flowers more (locations it is found, type of flower, how effecte environment...etc) and creating a poster board that they will present in the class.

      Adaptions: be sure to go over vocabulary. Also, you can chart and draw picture step by step of how the students are to put together their "greenhouses" Extensions: You can extend this to higher grades by discussing the water cycle and demonstrating how the water cycle created moisture in the greenhouses in order to water the seeds. Also, if possible you can plan a fiend trip to a greenhouse, (a lot of times these are FREE and they will do demonstrations and age appropriate activities with the students!)

      this a great lesson to help students visualize place value. You could pair ELL/special need students with advanced students.
    • Jessica Buell
      Jessica Buell on 03 Feb 12
       
      So many ways you can extend this activity to other grades. You could extend it for Kindergarten and 1st grade by using manipulatives instead of a deck of cards to introduce place value. You would want to give the 1st and second graders a ganizer mat when using manipulatives. For higher grades you could have the students pair up and then have to make two sets of numbers and add them together to make the highes number, or subtract them to make the lowest number. You could also do this activity using decimals to intoroduce the place value of decimals.

      you can adapt this lesson by using only the number cards 1-9 instead of a deck of cards and have them line up that many manuplitaves, for advanced children you could make the queen & kind "wild" cards.
    • Jessica Buell
      Jessica Buell on 04 Feb 12
       
      you can extend this lesson for 1st or 2nd grade by paring them up into two. They lay the 5 out and one person is the "dealer" and the other person is the "guesser". The guesser gets to ask if the card is higher or lower than 5. After the dealer resonds the guesses must try to guess which number they think the dealer has. If they guess it correclty the dealer keeps the deck, and if they guess it incorrectly the dealer passes the deck on and they switch roles. This is a great activity to reviewing , or =.

      This activity could be used for home practice (as flash cards) as well as an independent station.  For differentiation, students may utilize a number line if they need help.  It would be easy to make additional cards that incorporate numbers up to and through the one hundreds for students as they attain mastery at various levels.
