Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 2
Beginner - Intermediate Level
We will deepen our knowledge of what science really is and how we can find it around us.  We will cover the fundamentals of science such as the science safety rules, the states of matter, how objects move, objects we find in the sky, living/nonliving things we see around us such as soil, rocks, and water, characteristics of living things, and much more! We will start the lessons with any celebrations we may have (positive notes) and/or what we learned from the previous lesson and end the lesson with an exit ticker and/or discussion of the homework needed completion before the next lesson meeting. I will be utilizing anchor charts, PowerPoint slides, journal work, and a projector display our whole class work. We will have numerous discussions about each lesson before the end of the session.
