Brochure- Health Education 3rd Grade

STRESS MANAGEMENT BROCHURE

You can read the brochure right here

Health Education 3rd Grade, Standard #1: The students will learn ways to improve mental health and manage stress.

Education Technology #8: Select and use appropriate tools (e.g., educational software, and technology resources to accomplish a variety of tasks and solve problems.

I used the brochure to teach about Health Education. I focused on Stress Management and provided ideas for students to recognize and manage stress. The Brochure is a fun way and different way to teach a concept adding pictures and information, and it captures students' attention. Some of the cons that I experienced was it was a little hard to maneuver pictures and text into the place that I wanted it to go.

Students, this brochure is also a resource to you to help you recognize when you are feeling stressed, and what you can do to manage stress. Feel free to come back to this post when you are feeling stressed. Read through this brochure and write down on a piece of paper some ways you have felt stressed, what you have done to manage your stress, and how it worked for you. We will discuss your answers at the end of the unit.

3rd Grade Science- Pinterest

LEARNING ABOUT THE SUN, MOON, AND THE EARTH

Click here to go to my pin board!

Science 3rd Grade, Standard #1: Students will understand that the shape of Earth and the moon are spherical and that Earth rotates on its axis to produce the appearance of the sun and moon moving through the sky.

Educational Technology #4: Use content-specific tools, software and simulations (e.g., environmental probes, graphing calculators, exploratory environments, Web tools) to support learning and research.

I used Pinterest to teach about Science. I mainly focused on the sun, moon, and the Earth and their characteristics, and what they do. I pinned a few videos and pictures that teach about this topic, and I also pinned some activities that the students can do to expand their understanding. Pinterest  is a great tool to provide different ways of teaching concepts, and organizing pins on different boards. It is a great way to learn how other teachers teach concepts, and to expand creativity. It's a fun way for students to go to many resources to learn more about a topic. I will be using this in my classroom for students, and I will be using ideas from Pinterest.

Students, here is a link to my Pinterest board containing many different pins about the sun, moon, and the Earth. These pins are links to pictures, videos, and fun activities related to what we are learning about. Visit my Pinterest board and explore these pins. Each day, write a sentence about what you learned, and you will turn in this paper on Wednesday. This will help you be prepared for class each day as we will be learning about the sun, moon, and the Earth for the next three days.

Answer Garden- Education Technology 3rd Grade

KEYBOARDING

Question 1 

Question 2

Question 3

Education Technology, Keyboarding, Standard #2: The student will use correct fingering while keying the introduced keys.

Education Technology Standard Standard #5: Apply productivity/multimedia tools and peripherals (e.g., computer, keyboard) to support personal productivity, group collaboration, and learning throughout the curriculum.

I used AnswerGarden to help teach about Education Technology. I provided 3 different questions about they keyboard for students to answer so I can gauge what the class understands. This is a great tool for students to give short answers, and to see the answers collectively, it is also great way to see what the majority of the students know, and to discern what needs to be reviewed. This tool is also fun for students to think quickly and to put in their answer before the time runs out.

Students, I have provided three different questions about correct usage of keys on the keyboard. As a class we will go through all 3 of these questions together and answer them. Click on the first link and answer the question. Once every student has submitted their answer, we will discuss the answers. We will then go to the second link, answer it and discuss it, and then the third link. Try to answer the question as fast as you can, you will only have 1 minute for you to submit your answer.

Social Studies 3rd Grade- TodaysMeet

ECOSYSTEMS

Here is the link for TodaysMeet

Social Studies Standard #1 Objective 3e: Make inferences about the positive and negative impacts of human-caused change to the physical environment.

Education Technology #7: Using telecommunications and collaborative tools (e.g., email, online discussions) to investigate curriculum-related problems, issues, and information, and to develop solutions or products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.

I used TodaysMeet to teach about Social Studies. I provided a couple thought-provoking questions about Ecosystems for the students to answer. TodaysMeet is a great way to collect answers from students, and for the students to see what each other has to say. This can help students think broadly as they give their answers, and to see from the point of view of other students. It also helps me as a teacher to gauge what the students know, and what we need to go over in class. TodaysMeet is super easy to use and is very effective.

Students, I have used "TodaysMeet" to  provided a couple of questions about Ecosystems. You will need to click on the link, create a "nickname", and answer the question. Think outside the box and make sure to read what other class mates have to say. Try not to give the same answer that other students have given. I will leave this question up this weekend, so please get your answer in by Sunday night as we will be discussing our answers in class on Monday.
