Hershey Mountains, Toothpaste Rivers, and Playdough Hills.....Oh My!!!

I must say that my students LOVED our landform diorama activity! In our Social Studies unit, we learned about a variety of landforms and bodies of water that can be found across our planet. We used materials such as playdough, Hershey Kisses, brown sugar, and toothpaste to represent each of these landforms.

Butterfly Life Cycle

After learning about the butterfly life cycle, students used beans and pasta to represent the different stages of the life cycle.

Our Bat-tastic Writings

In our reading class last week, we read an expository text called Squeaking Bats. Students learned lots of interseting facts about these fascinating mammals. For Adventures in Writing, the students organized the information they learned about bats into a tree map to help create their writings. After completing their work, the students traced their hands and feet to create their very own bat!
