Garden - STEM / ELA Challenge Exploration
I developed the Thematic Challenge Explorations as a way to increase student ENGAGEMENT. Research highlights that students are more likely to be engaged when they are given an AUTHENTIC PURPOSE, REAL-WORLD applications and HANDS-ON experiences. The Thematic Challenge Explorations integrate Common Core Reading, Writing and Math standards. I wanted to create opportunities for teachers to provide memorable experiences that increase student ENGAGEMENT, while also connecting to the standards they

Eiffel Tower Stem Project + Short Passage
This is a worksheet with a short reading about the Eiffel tower, some questions, and then a stem project at the bottom. My first graders were given pipecleaners and worked in pairs to build the tower. Usually I do a sample model of the tower but as this was an end of the year STEM, I did not make one and the first graders had to engineer their own way to make their tower stand. The kids did a great job working together. We did a silent gallery walk to look at each partner's work and shared what

Teamwork Award Incentive Program
I created this incentive program out of desperation. My class was struggling working together on team activities. I decided on that day to give an award to the team showing all the teamwork skills we had outlined previously (see my Teamwork Slideshow). I modified it over time so students could collect awards to earn bigger prizes. I have used this incentive program for about ten years and it has been very effective. Students regulate each other by trying to make sure everyone is involved and
