These activities will make your life easier and give your students fun AND worthwhile beginning of the school-year Science and Social Studies activities! Why use Science and Social Studies Activities for August and September? There are so many demands on teachers these days, and it’s tough to find time to fit it all in! Since reading and writing activities are top priorities in the primary classroom, these important skills are integrated into fun science and social studies activities, perfect for the beginning of the school year! How it works: There are 9 valuable and fun activities included making the teacher’s life easier and the student’s learning fun and engaging! Only a couple of activities require a few materials to prepare ahead of time, but for the most part, these activities are print-and-go! What’s included: I developed these activities to make it easier to incorporate these important subjects into my second-grade classroom. This set contains these activities: Science Process Skills - Task Cards Honey Bee Life Cycle How Bees Pollinate Flowers: activity Helpful Hints on Using Close Reads The Autumnal Equinox (Close Read) The Coast Guard (Close Read) Developing Rules as a Classroom Community Constitution Day (Close Read) Creating a Community (Hands-on Group Activity) Teachers like you said: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Martine A. said, “Bought the October set last year for my ESL students and bought the remaining months this year!” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Elisabeth B. said, “This is a wonderful product!
