What's Inside the Mystery Box? Class 5- Learning and Art (Can Take in Any Order)

In this one-time class, students will use their detective skills to follow the clues and conclude which item is in the box. Following the discovery of the item, we will complete a drawing together that follows the theme.

Class Experience

Students will use inferencing (the act or process of reaching a conclusion about something from known facts) to follow the clues and determine what mystery item is in the box, today's item is a DOLPHIN. Once the item is revealed we will work together to draw a picture of a dolphin while discussing more dolphin facts that I will be sharing with the students. 
This class serves as both a method of practicing inferences as well as an overview of DOLPHINS. 

* Please note*
This is a highly interactive class which provides a ton of opportunity for the student to share out. It works really well if we can keep them unmuted during the class as opposed to waiting for everyone to unmute themselves. 
In order to do this, the students need to be in as as quiet of an environment as possible. ( I have dogs and kids so I know that that is relative) but any help you can give in that department is greatly appreciated.

Learning Goals

Students will use inferencing to determine what is in the mystery box.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Miss Brooke teaches kids everything from language arts and social studies to cake decorating and crafts—and can't wait to teach your child. An education major and certified yoga/wellness instructor based out of Colorado, Miss Brooke has worked with a variety of grade levels, ranging from pre-school to 12th grade. She's also worked in multiple subjects, including (but not limited to) mathematics, science, language arts, and social studies—though she's most passionate about the latter two. She truly believes that reading is our first-class ticket to adventure and that social studies is the perfect way to teach youth what's important in our everyday lives through history and civic engagement.

In addition to her work in the education and wellness field, she has a few hobbies that keep her busy—and, more importantly, happy! Cake decorating, photography and crafting are some of her favorite pastimes. 

I am a firm believer in curriculum integration- I love to incorporate a variety of learning opportunities into all of my classes ranging from science and social studies to reading and math, with some social emotional skills sprinkled in there as well. 

In addition to integration, I am particularly fond of an active classroom setting- it is my goal in every class that I teach to incorporate both verbal and physical engagement throughout the class regardless of what subject I am teaching.
