Under the Canopy
|
This rainforest unit is an integrated
summer reading program designed to reinforce
language arts skills with an emphasis on reading
and writing. The summer program is designed to
help students at risk meet the N.Y. State
standards. This unit is literature based and
spans a period of four weeks incorporating
reading, writing, and technology skills for
students who have just completed grades one
through five. It will also expose the students
to the geographical and scientific significance
of a rainforest habitat.
This theme based approach to learning a broad
topic allows students functioning at a wide
variety of levels to work together cooperatively,
learn from each other, and have fun together.
At risk readers take on the role of the "mentor"
or "teacher" when paired with younger students
and they are then able to build their self-esteem
. These students are rarely able to be the
experts with their peer group so this becomes a
very positive experience for all the children.
In addition, the younger students love the
attention from their older classmates.
All aspects of the summer program center around
the rainforest theme including reading, writing,
listening, and speaking projects, art activities,
guest readers, and even snacks are woven into
the theme.
"Under the Canopy" is sure to be a swinging good
time for all!

100 Years and Counting
|
This unit is primarily based on the book ...If You Lived: 100 Years Ago, by Ann McGovern. The book is a wonderful resource and full of information that is written in children's language. It covers all of the information that will be studied such as schooling, clothing, jobs, transportation and conveniences (or inventions) from the time period extending from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. The book explains what it was like primarily in New York City, which fits in nicely with the fourth grade curriculum, but also can tie in nicely with the third grade curriculum as it covers many different communities from around the world.
