Ideas+and+Group+collaboration

In order to make collaboration easier, lets post all of our ideas and postings here in this page!!!

Lesson plan Activity Ideas:
 * Cookie sheet station as a compass (amy)
 * Learning stations where children learn about different types of land. One with sand, soil, etc. (Katelyn)
 * label their own paper compass for their world globe portfolio (amy)
 * Point to N/S/E/W on active board as a center for day 2 (amy)
 * ocean, river, lake 3 stations (amy)
 * Salt water/fresh water station for day 3 (amy)
 * Active board map activity on kid Geo for day 4 (amy)
 * Create a map of your room (amy)
 * On friday, have a fun friday waffle day. The waffle would be their compass and they would label it N/S/E/W and then eat on day five (amy)
 * Each group of seven students has to create a world on day 4. Each person in each group cut out a different continent to place as a puzzle on a map later. They can decorate it with all colors of different small pieces of green tissue paper because green is the color that represents land as learned in day 1 (amy)
 * On big banner paper, already have the earth stenciled out so students can place their continents on the puzzle in the right places on day 5 (amy)
 * Ten minute field trip around the school using cardinal directions and a compass for day 2. (Ashley)
 * Blue jello for snack/activity on day 3. (Taylor)
 * Brackish water (Taylor)
 * Picture cards with bodies of water ( Taylor)
 * bodies of water video( Taylor )
 * Popcorn activity with a beach ball globe. Ball is thrown to student and student must identify whether it is a continent or body of water that both their right and left hand has landed on.- Activity on day 4 (Katelyn)
 * Hey everyone! Just wondering what the plan for completing day 5 lesson plan is? I know we had all talked about ideas for it and how it will wrap up the entire week but just trying to figure out how we are going to complete it. Should we divide it up evenly between each of us? Any suggestions (Katelyn) **


 * Hey! I think it would be easier if one of us put it together and then had everyone else review it. i can get started on that and have it posted tonight for everyone to review unless someone else wants to do it :). (AMY) **
 * If you don't mind putting it together then no problem. Once you or whoever else posts I will review it and give ideas, suggestions, etc. Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving! (Katelyn) **
