This lesson is designed as a summative assessment at the end of the Comparing Countries Unit. The students will celebrate the end of the unit by participating in a Mexican Fiesta Day. The teacher can choose to prepare a Mexican dish for the class, or provide treats for the students. The teacher can also allow students to dress up, listen to Mexican music and/or participate in Mexican styled games if time permits. Students will be required to present their final project in a positive and exciting environment. The students will be given a choice board of project options prior to Mexican Fiesta Day.

Students will be required to answer a minimum of 5 of the key questions in whichever project option they’ve selected. How they express and present the information will be manipulated into the project of their choice.

This unit of study focuses on the NEEDS and WANTS Outcome in the Grade 2 Social Studies Curriculum. This unit was developed by Melissa Pellitier during her work as an Intern at Elizabeth School in Kindersley. The curriculum is unpacked, a framework provided as well as a document that can be used in any grade 2 setting.

In partners, students researched, illustrated, and recorded a section of our classroom digital storybook about First Nations way of living. Students worked with a partner to research a topic given to them about the Plains First Nations. Various topics such as hunting techniques, transportation, homes, food, clothing, education, recreation, and religion were assigned to the partners to research. Students wrote jot notes using a graphic organizer. Once they finished their research they wrote a descriptive paragraph on their topic. Each partner was then responsible to illustrate a picture that would represent their paragraph that they wrote. Once students had typed up their good copy of their paragraphs, and finished their illustrations they spilt up their paragraph to decide who would read what part. Students rehearsed reading their paragraphs out loud to each other before they recorded their voices on the IPad. As each group was ready to record they then used the IPad to take a picture using the camera of their illustration and uploaded it into the app. Students then recorded their voices using the app.

SOIL is a writing pattern based on the book by Margaret Wise Brown. Read the story and let the kids guess what the important thing about each item is. They all like joining in at the last line. This lesson can be done with any theme. I put this together as a culminating ELA activity for our soil unit.

My goal this year was to include more opportunities for students to work collaboratively and develop their critical thinking skills at the same time. The example I have chosen for my artifact is an invitation I created for our final Science unit, Rocks and Minerals. I included this invitation in my centers and this allowed students a great deal of time to explore and examine the station independently. The students loved it and it was a very popular place in our classroom! I created the invitation by gathering the rocks and minerals books and materials that we had in our school. Students were then given opportunity just to explore the rocks and minerals station before we even began the unit. Once we began the unit students began to add materials to the exploration station in the classroom.

Help my class has GAPS! Considering supplementary learning your new students may be in differing places. If your grade 4-6 students are behind, please use these planners to combine outcomes. This will benefit both teacher and student. Planning your math this way will alleviate math anxiety and make things more manageable. There is a separate plan to address learning gaps in Grade 4, Grade 5 and Grade 6.

The following is are examples of a choice boards that could be used with grades 4-6 for distance learning. Keep checking. More will be added.
