The measurable goal and curricular aim of this lesson are for students to be able to fluently retrieve words in spelling patterns, and correctly spell both irregularly-spelled grade-appropriate words and words with vowel and consonant-blend patterns. The three activities in this lesson plan enables students to use the knowledge they have learned in class to complete. Students have an individual assesment at the end to write their own story incorporating the concepts from this lesson.

This learning sequence is anchored in the phenomena: Salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest are declining.
Part of the job of Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is to figure out why salmon populations are declining and create plans for how to help increase fish populations. Throughout this unit, students will engage with the phenomenon of Pacific salmon population decline as they explore salmonid species and discover how WDFW raises healthy fish in hatcheries.
Students will explore salmonid life cycles and discover patterns among life cycles of plants and animals who interact with salmon. Students will then learn what makes healthy habitats for salmon. They will evaluate solutions to the problems of salmon migration above and below dams and examine salmons’ role in a healthy river system. Students will embark on a virtual field trip (in person field trips also available) to a WDFW fish hatchery to learn about current practices in hatchery management and identify ways the hatchery meets the habitat needs of fish. Finally, students will be called to work as an engineering team and help develop a tool to support salmon recovery by working as conservation engineers.

Students will be learning about the states of matter. I will be teaching them different things and differences of solids, liguids, and gases. Students then will do 2 tasks:Task 1: Watch a states of matter song on youtube.Task 2: Play a game that has them answer questions about states of matter to advance in the game.

This is my final project for Education Technology at Fairfield University, taught by Professor Elliott. I chose to focus on Storybird, an online and app-base platform that allows students to write their own stories while utilizing illustrator grade drawings to elevate their tales. The platform also allows for students to explore writing lessons and become stronger writers while flexing their creative muscles.

In this project, you will explore a real-world problem, and then work through a series of steps to analyze that problem, research ways the problem could be solved, then propose a possible solution to that problem. Often, there are no specific right or wrong solutions, but sometimes one particular solution may be better than others. The key is making sure you fully understand the problem, have researched some possible solutions, and have proposed the solution that you can support with information / evidence.Begin by reading the problem statement in Step 1. Take the time to review all the information provided in the statement, including exploring the websites, videos and / or articles that are linked. Then work on steps 2 through 8 to complete this problem-based learning experience.

These lesson plans and activities were purposed and designed by Paula Turon Loren for Kindergarden English teachers in the United Kingdom. The activity is designed and differentiated for different ability groups, thus teachers can adapt the lesson to their students levels and needs. Moreover, the materials may be used and adapted for any country's specific context.

Research has shown that peer feedback is especially helpful for the student giving the feedback. When peers are looking at other students work, they often report seeing the gaps in their own thinking, and then go back to their own work, revise, and improve.

Every group has some people who participate a lot, and some who rarely speak. Yet, everyone has something to contribute AND something to get from hearing the voices of others. This strategy helps give everyone in the group space to speak and to listen.
