Menu Item of the Day:
Research a State and create a slideshow.
Subjects used: Social Studies and Language Arts
Check out 6th grader, Kaydence’s work;
Lots of questions about menu items not being “regular” work. We are going to post some examples of completed menu items and what subjects they address. Here’s the first one:
6th grader, Hayden, chose menu item 37 from the Distance Learning Activities(also under Read & Do on website).
37. Create a marble roller coaster.
She was also told to write her process down.
This uses her science and language arts skills.
To make it more challenging, for her age, she had to get the marble from the upstairs to the downstairs and land in a jar.
Please encourage your students to do these activities! We want them to work their minds!!!
