Wire Tree Creations by Leah Baratta

CP4.8 Create art works using a variety of visual art concepts (e.g., organic shapes), forms (e.g., kinetic sculpture, mural), and media (e.g., wood, wire, and found objects).

In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about how properties help us understand objects.

Summary: This year I developed 21st Century Competencies through Critical Thinking, Creativity and Collaboration using the Grade 6 Science outcomes on the Diversity of Living Things and PAA Woodworking. The students prepared a poster on a bird of their choice, they gave an oral presentation on their bird, they drew sketches of a bird house, constructed and painted their houses.

The purpose of the Mathematics Word Wall is to identify words and phrases
that students need to understand and use so as to make good progress in
mathematics. Mathematical language is crucial to children's development of
thinking. If students do not have the vocabulary to talk about math
concepts and skills, they cannot make progress in understanding these areas
of mathematical knowledge. They need to be familiar with mathematical
vocabulary and mathematical terms to understand written and spoken
instructions.
A structured approach to the teaching and learning of mathematical
vocabulary is essential if students are to begin using the correct
mathematical terminology.

The following is a blank print out of the game "Bingo" and "Wordo" that could be used with word wall words.

The following are two portable word walls.

The following is a "making words" chart.

The following is a word wall wordsearch layout.

The following is a dice game to play with your word wall. You roll the dice and find a corresponding word with the number you rolled.

Image of the Week activity:
A nonfiction routine and ritual that students will love is called "Image of the Week." Choose one day of the week (e.g. Wednesday) and post an image of interest on a bulletin board in the classroom. The image might be a photograph, diagram, drawing, or map -- it varies each week. Student interests, topics of study, current events, or unique images can be just a few of the reasons images are chosen for "Image of the Week." You as a teacher can select the images to post. Give the students the opportunity to submit images for the activity as well.

Text Talk activity:
Text Talk is an approach to read alouds that is designed to enhance children’s ability to construct meaning from decontextualized language.

Hinky Pinky:
This word game can be used to help your students practice syllable, rhyming word, and synonym skills. The object of the game is simple. Given a clue, students must guess the two word answer. The trick is that the answer contains two words that are equal in the number of syllables and rhyme.

The following word wall sentence print out allows students to choose words from the word wall, write a sentence including it and draw a picture.

The following is a powerpoint with tips about using word walls and PWIM.

Choose the wisest thing said in To Kill a Mockingbird. Discuss what the lesson was, why it was important to impart, and the impact it had on the character learning it. Through this one page single-spaced assignment, you are to also discuss why this was the quote that you chose.

Work Place and Apprenticeship Math 30- What Bank To Use When Starting A Small Business

In this lesson student will be developing an idea for a possible small business that they would like to start and run. Once they have developed an idea for a business they will have to research what services different financial institutions offered in their area, or the province. Once they have finished seeing what services are out there, students will then have to decide what institution they would like to use, and determine what requirements they need to meet from the bank. Depending on how much time you would like to spend on this you could have students even come up with a loan proposal and a business plan as well. This can be done in partners or the students can work on the alone as well.

The way this assignment is formatted, it is meant to be outside measuring inaccessibly tall. The students already had a very good understanding of the primary trig ratios and how to use them, as they had already taken Foundations and Pre-Calculus 10. We did a quick review of sine, cosine and tangent. If I had a group of students who were unfamiliar with the ratios, I would take a day or two to introduce the ratios. A good understanding of the trig ratios is necessary for them to be able to do a good job with this assignment.

Since we were using apps on the iPad, I took a good 20-30 minutes to explain the logistics behind how to hold the iPad, etc. in order to get accurate measurements with the Tape Measure app and the Clinometer app.

Help students keep their writing organized in a writing folder. Glue the labels from the next few pages onto the covers and pockets of two pocket folders. If you wish, laminate the folders and use an exacto knife to slice open the pocket. Tape the two folders together to make a four pocket folder. You could also make your own folders using 18 x 24 construction paper/manila tag. Before laminating, let the students attach the labels and decorate.

The grade 2 curriculum centers around the community, and folksongs stem from communities – and can be very indicative of the area from which they come from in the language used, the stories told and the instruments played upon. The songs I use for examples are also written in the ABA form, which we also discuss. Student learn how folk songs are created, taught a very basic ABA form (which comes up later on in successive grades), rhyming, a topic to write about, and possibly collaborate with others to compose their own piece.
