This time of year, it's always perfect to start teaching about the life cycle of plants.
This year I have been really focusing on non-fiction reading and writing with my class and I wanted to come up with a cute way to display their learning to their parents. This is when I came up with SCIENCE WRITE. Stay tuned, as I have tons of ideas for future topics.
Here's an example of what the final product will look like on a bulletin board.
This is a piecemeal photo which I cobbled together on my phone so I apologize for the poor quality. My goal with this idea was to have a great bulletin board to showcase the kids learning. It not only looks cute, but it makes the teacher look great too! This year I decided to use fabric flowers in the garden as I have a whole bag of artificial flowers that I bought from Michael's many years ago. This was a great project to use some of them up.
This year I have been working with reading passages for non-fiction reading. So in this pack I added 3 levels of difficulty in the reading passages. But I also wanted to differentiate for different levels of learning. So there's a little book with real photographs and a PowerPoint too. You could use these lessons with Kindergarten students up to 3rd Grade.

What a fantastic idea! Anything where you can integrate multiple subjects is right up my ally! Will have to keep this in mind for the spring!
