I believe projects are very important for students. Lecture is a must, but I would much prefer to do projects when teaching. For my pre-k students we have a plant experiment where we are seeing in what conditions plants grow the best. We have 3 different plant settings, one plant is in soil and in the sun, one is in water and in the sun and the last is in water and in the shade. Through our project we have discovered that plants in soil and in the sun grow the best!
We are also growing plants in our small green house in order to better understand the needs of plants and their life cycle. We have had a lot of fun learning about plants!
These are some pictures from my social studies class this year. during our Ancient Egypt study students wrote their names in hieroglyphics!
As part of one of geography lessons we took a gallery walk around the classroom to test students ability on determining what kind of map each one was.
At the beginning of our geography study students drew maps of their rooms to better understand aspects of a map (key, compass, symbols).
