mmmmmmm
teaching by cookery! I love it!
I used to make soup in my classroom as a lesson to go with reading "Stone Soup" (a children's book) until my principal decided it was "not appropriate". Never mind that it taught fractions, measurement, and introduced children to healthful foods - it wasn't in the "curriculum" so suddenly we couldn't do it.
It was in *my* curriculum for years. But it wasn't in the new "curriculum" the school district bought for a million dollars from the superintendent's friend, so I couldn't teach it any more...
It was some darn good soup.
This case is a set piece by the teacher,ACLU, and school administration to "teach a leson" to the lawmakers,etc.
As long as the U.s. of A. flag is significantly larger and properly displayed there is nothing wrong with a display of the "The Flags of the World".
I do find it odd only two other flags were mentioned/displayed. Where were the flags of Canada,Mexico,the 33? other Central and South American countries?
I give the kids about 7 different colors of clay and we make a model of the cell. The kids get such a kick out of making the endoplasmic reticulum. LOL quite a few of them go home and throw the word out during dinner conversation.
We do that project around Christmas and some of the kids take them home and use them as Christmas ornaments.
During the unit on the human skeleton, I play a game called Ms. Ware says, and I call out the name of a bone and they have to touch it with their phalanges.
On hands activities, when possible are a great way to help the kids remember.
