The Seed Cycle

Miss M, Miss Campos, and I had the opportunity to teach our very first lesson to the 2nd grade class last Monday. On top of the fun activities with Kim, I have to say...it was a FABULOUS day!

We walked into the classroom not knowing what to expect. Honestly, I was so nervous, but we pulled together as a team and did a great job!

 

We had made a pictorial input of a plant and the different vocabulary such as "root, seed, leaf, stem, flower" and we noted that the plants are ALIVE. It was important to emphasize that they were SCIENTISTS. and as scientists, it was their job to observe and write down their observations in their science notebooks!

The best part of the lesson would have to be the SONG. The students LOVED it! I think they loved the chance to get out of their seats and to shake the wiggles out with some TPR.

Seeing the joy on the kids' faces was all I needed.

I'm so thankful for the chance to teach <3
