Powerpoint - Learning about the Seasons
This is a PowerPoint designed for 1st/2nd graders to use to help them illustrate their understanding of the seasons. There is a title slide with a place for them to put their name, and 4 slides (one for each season). Before starting the activity, brainstorm with the kids the types of the differences we see in each season. Spring is already done as a model for them, so you could either leave it there as a sample or take out descriptions. I usually require that at least 3 short points be made

Teaching style
I like to deliver information in a way that makes it usable for the participant so will often create documents that go along with the training that they can refer to both during and after workshops. I also encourage (and love) questions that people have because it gives me the opportunity to really dig into concepts people may be struggling with.
