She developed criteria for the three grade levels in her class: 4th: Earth's Landforms, 5th Celestial Bodies, 6th Endangered Sea Life. And then she tied in a simple literacy piece with the explanatory paragraph and the construction process paragraph. They are displayed nicely in the hall for all to see. Out of more than 60 students only 4 did not complete one. That's high motivation for a homework project! She credits Hyde Park Teacher Denielle Endres for the idea. Love it Emily!!
I hope you will take time to view this slide show of an absolutely marvelous science project. It was assigned by my Colleague, Emily Westerling, just this past month to coincide with the holiday season. She developed criteria for the three grade levels in her class: 4th: Earth's Landforms, 5th Celestial Bodies, 6th Endangered Sea Life. And then she tied in a simple literacy piece with the explanatory paragraph and the construction process paragraph. They are displayed nicely in the hall for all to see. Out of more than 60 students only 4 did not complete one. That's high motivation for a homework project! She credits Hyde Park Teacher Denielle Endres for the idea. Love it Emily!! holiday
