US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Dive into the fascinating world of dolphins with this self-paced unit study! This engaging course features five pre-recorded lessons that explore the biology, behavior, and habitats of these incredible marine mammals. Complementing the video lessons are hands-on printable homework activities designed to reinforce key concepts and encourage active learning. For those eager to delve even deeper, optional themed journaling pages provide a creative outlet to reflect on and expand their knowledge. Perfect for independent learners, this unit study offers a comprehensive and flexible approach to understanding one of the ocean’s most beloved creatures. This class will consist of five short and easy lessons. They are filled with engaging pictures and videos, with the material being taught by me in video format. Each lesson will also conclude with an interactive game. Everything is contained within slide shows in Canva, which students can access with a view-only link. No sign-in or account creation is required and no other websites are needed. Also included in this class are homework suggestions to fully engage and immerse learners. They will receive a PDF download with each lesson that includes a hands-on activity and/or printable. A set of journaling pages about our topic will also be provided. These are meant to aid students in creating their own personalized learning notebook, thereby enriching their understanding of the subject. This unit study is designed to be completed over the course of two weeks, but students will have all the materials available and can move through it at their own pace. I will also be available to answer questions and give guidance as needed.
