Lesson One 1. Title: Going on a Leaf Hunt 2. Standard: K-2, Science is a way of knowing… Science knowledge helps us know about the world. 3. Objective: Study the lifecycle of leaves to understand how nature changes with the seasons. 4. Materials: Colorful leaves, bag to collect leaves in, internet research, paper and masking tape 5. Background Knowledge • Relationship between chlorophyll and photosynthesis: o During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. The trees will rest, and live off the food they stored during the summer. They begin to shut down their food-making factories. The green chlorophyll disappears from the leaves. 6. Lesson description: • Give a brief introduction of the lesson. • In Kansas, we have four seasons. …show more content…
Title: Money Run 2. Standard: 1.NBT.C Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract 3. Objective: Combine coins to equal specific amounts. 4. Materials: $5 in various coins (either real or plastic), white board, the entire classroom 5. Background Knowledge: what students work well together in the classroom, they will be doing group work 6. Lesson Description • Introduce class to the concept of the activity • Divide class up into groups of 3 or 4 • Remind students of the different amounts of each coin • Place groups of coins around the room (pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters) • Teacher will write a money amount on the board • On the teacher’s command, students will form a plan and race to find the combination of coins needed to reach the total amount • Students will bring the collected coins back to their desks • The first group of students to have the target amount will raise their hands and shout finished • The rest of the class will freeze until the teacher checks if the group is correct • If the group is correct, they win that round, if they are not, the class will continue looking for the correct amount until they reach a winner for that round 7. Activity
The third grade class contained 30 students, some in which were ELL’s. The ELL students get pulled out at various times throughout the day. The classroom set up is arranged in 5 different tables that contain a cluster of about 6 to 5 students each. The students are placed at random but, some are placed far from students that they may not work as well together. Throughout the classroom, student’s work is up for display, inside and outside the classroom. Different students are given different jobs that they are responsible for each day. This allows the students to be active learners and hands on. The school makes each class have at least one
The group included trouble makers the follow the rules kids. The goal of the bet is to see who can get the highest grade on the probability test. There were five participants and each person needs to put in fifty dollars, and in total the winner would get 250 dollars. The winner will also be thought of as a smart students because the teacher announces everyone’s grades in class. It would not matter how they receive the grade because all that matters is what grade they get. Each participant came up with an idea that will help him get the highest grade in the class.
Teacher conducts group conference with the finished group to clarify and extend their learning. As teacher ask questions that provides with evidence of students’ understanding and explore their way of thinking. Teacher asks various questions to each students such as What obstacles did you overcome to resolve this task? what the hardest fraction you encountered? What strategy did you use? How your strategy relates to your classmates’
Witches were people that were believed to use magical powers and make pacts with Satan. They were taken as threats because they were believed to be the cause of disease and misfortune. There were many people that confessed to being witches and digging up the diseased and using the bones for necromancy.

In stories set in the past such as “De Las Casas” and “An Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano” witch hunts are apparent and open people's eyes to see how they are still evident in today's society. America is seen as a place for freedom, but in several cases Americans still participate in witch hunts, but they are termed today as bullying, racism, and stereotyping. In several of the stories we read, witch hunts were prevalent in the way people within them are viewed. Moreover, there is a different type of witch hunt, as narrated in The Crucible. This type of witch hunt is a classic one. The Crucible is the quintessential tale of an individual accused of witchcraft and ultimately executed. However, this is not the type of witch

Witch-hunt: a campaign aimed against a person or group holding unpopular views.

It was 1909 in Salem Washington, during that year the wolves were awful,killing most of the livestock and making the winter hard and cruel. The wolf was even more afraid of the people than the people were of it. The people were actually frightened by something off in the forest. It was a woman in a long dress robe. It was a witch.

The epoch of Medieval European history concerning the vast and complicated witch hunts spanning from 1450 to 1750 is demonstrative of the socioeconomic, religious, and cultural changes that were occurring within a population that was unprepared for the reconstruction of society. Though numerous conclusions concerning the witch trials, why they occurred, and who was prosecuted have been founded within agreement there remains interpretations that expand on the central beliefs. Through examining multiple arguments a greater understanding of this period can be observed as there remains a staggering amount of catalysts and consequences that emerged. In the pursuit of a greater understanding three different interpretations will be
In the class exercise, I got the blank card. Therefore, I have to negotiate with the person who has a dollar sign card. Fortunately, the dollar sign cardholder was in front of me. In addition, there were two more people wanted to join us at the same time. Hence, four of us have made a deal that we would split the eight dollars, and each person would get two dollars. However, the outcome of our group was we got seven instead of eight dollars. Finally, the dollar sign cardholder was kind, and he was satisfied with one dollar; and he gave two dollars to each of us. My result was end up with two
Teacher Instructions: During large group math, students will act out addition problems at “the bus stop”. Students will take turns being the actors, get a number and sit on the bus with another number. Class will solve the problem of how many the numbers will make before getting off the bus. Next student will write the new number (answer) on the dry erase board.
students come together to form a study group. They need each other to pass the test and will be
Using fractions or decimals instead of integers is a simple way to differentiate in the classroom. Students who find the current topic dull and
The title of one worksheet was “Conserving Energy”. The students were curious about the picture they will create when plotting the points and they started working immediately. At the end they discovered a “dog sleeping”, which was “conserving energy”, not using it. No matter what learning strategy or activity is used in math class, students know the purpose of these activities. During Scavenger Hunt students start solving a problem on one of the several mini-poster which are posted all over the room. The answer to that problem is the number of the next problem to be solved. The students are engaged in this activity and through this this process solve all the problems assigned for that class period.
