I have been working with a team of 2nd grade teachers or a couple of weeks to come up with this fantastic unit. It showcases the integration of math, reading, and science standards with a strong backbone of student driven instruction. The unit spans over 5 days, with the possibility for longer time spans. This unit is being piloted as we speak, and the effectiveness of it will be shown. The teachers who helped to build it have already expressed interest in completing this at an earlier time in the year next year to make sure they can integrate mapping, opinion writing, and more math standards. I encourage you to try this in your classroom and let me know how it goes! |
