This science class will have direct teaching based on third grade Next Generation Science Standards. Our instructional focus will support learners who are working on a second grade and third grade level. We will work on the skills, content, vocabulary, hands on learning, experiments, and standards students will need to master during their third grade academic year in science. 

Each class will follow a general pattern for instruction. Content and experiments will be able to build upon instruction in class and standard focus, but each class will have a stand alone focus.  I love to utilize open conversation and responses during class and students are welcome to stay off of mute (as long as there isn't an excess amount of noise disturbance). I strive to use mute only to help with background noise. Classroom management techniques are used to keep class engaging, respectful, and a kind -uplifting place. 

Class Flow:
-Welcome (meet and greet with the teacher)
- Introduction to content, vocabulary, and skill of that day with the visual support of google slides.
- Class content learning, physical movements for memory reinforcement, and discussions with the visual support of google slides.
-Application of content on a foldable, journal entry, notes page, experiment, or hands on learning craft/ activity with the visual support of google slides and step by step instructions. 
-Summary and goodbye (with the teacher and class).
