Staying Healthy (Glogster)

I used glogster to create a poster for my 3rd grade class. I used a lesson plan off of uen.org titled Health-3rd grade, Standard 6: The students will understand how a healthy diet and exercise can increase the likelihood of physical and mental wellness. I used all four objectives.
Educational Technology - (Grades 3-5) Standard 5: Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.
Students' will have a better understanding of why eating healthy and exercising is important in life. They will know the consequences of being unhealthy and the benefits of being healthy.

Similar but Different (Storybird)

I created a story by using storybird. This book will help students' understand that they are similar but different from their parents. Students' will be able to use the book as a reference. Parents may use this book to let their child know how they are different and similar to them. This book also explains animal and plant offspring and how they are similar and different from their parents.
I used a lesson plan from uen.org, titled Science -1st Grade, Standard 4: Students will gain an understanding of Life Science through the study of changes in organisms over time and the nature of living things. I used both objectives for a guide.
Educational Technology - (Grades 3-5) Standard 5: Use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation, web tools, digital cameras, scanners) for individual and collaborative writing, communication, and publishing activities to create knowledge products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.

Progressing in Language Arts (Newsletter)

I made a Newsletter for my students' parents.  When parents read this newsletter they will understand what I expect from their children. They will know what strategy I'm using to teach their children. Parents will be able to click on the link and know what is going on in class for language arts. Students and parents will be able to use this newsletter for a reference if they have any questions about my teaching.
I used a lesson plan from uen.org, titled English Language Arts-3 Grade, Reading: literature Standard 1: Ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding of a text, referring explicitly to the text as the basis for the answers.
Educational Technology - (Grades 3-5) Standard 6:Use telecommunications efficiently and effectively to access remote information and communicate with others in support of direct and independent learning and for pursuit of personal interests.
