Hi all - so I have a student teacher...and she is amazing!! As a result I have time...so I have been making the most of my time. First, I did my Long Range Plans: Comments? What do you think? I was planning to include the Core Competencies when I wrote lesson plans. Also - I would just print what they provided on the BC Curriculum website in PDF format as the first page. These two pages would follow for Social Studies. Next, I did an Inquiry Unit for Social Studies to match. It covers most of the new content: This unit has not been tried in the classroom so I am looking for the first 5 people who write a comment on this post with their e-mail to demo parts of it or all of it with their class and provide feedback. I plan on doing the same. Anyone interested? My plan is to do a small Matter Unit next. Wish me luck! My student teacher leaves after the first week of March and my time will be up!!

Hello Everyone, We are in Chicago this week to celebrate the life and legacy of my husbands wonderful mom. She lost her 10 year battle with cancer on Sunday morning. We will miss her greatly, but rejoice in the truth that we will see her again. While sitting at the airport for 4 hours waiting for our plane because of weather delays, finally boarding, then deplaning because they couldn't start the engines, walking about a mile to the absolute farthest gate possible to board a new plane, and then finally taking off, I was able to put together a little symmetry unit for my sweeties. We will begin learning about fractions, but I first wanted to go over symmetry, congruent shapes, equal parts, lines of symmetry, etc. Symmetry is an important mathematical concept that actually serves as a jumping off point for many different mathematical objectives. We naturally look for balance and order in our lives, as well as in math. Symmetry can be taught with real life examples and leads beautifully in to a study of fractions. This little unit includes : 2 mini posters with definitions A hands on shape activity creating a class symme “tree” 4 visual activities 3 center activities A vocabulary word search You can get your little unit on Symmetry if you click here! :) I hope you and your kiddos enjoy this as much as I think we will! Let me know!! I'll post some pics of our life-sized symme"tree" when we get that done! Anyway, till next time, have a wonder-filled week! Joyfully! Nancy
