Newspapers are a great tool for students to explore history as well as make comments on current events and possible futures. The image below is an example that I created for students as they study explorers. They can use existing newspapers as the format for their own, or they can create one using the main elements of a newspaper. Another great use is the regular creation of a class newspaper to present student writing to parents.
Have students create a class reference book for common geographic terms. This collaborative approach is a fun and engaging introduction to the difficult new terms that exist in geography. The page below is one I made as an example for this booklet.
This handbook is inspired by the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools initiative. I created it for use by parents, students, teachers and administration. This wonderful webquest was created by myself and Miss Steeves for the grade 4 unit on explorations. It is an exciting and interactive way for students to explore this unit and is complete with a teacher guide. Teacher password is: armstrong. Click below to explore!
I have learned how much a document camera can help me with my teaching. I often use it now to read at the mat, show students how we use our math manipulatives, etc. I recommend this technology to anyone working with children, it has made it much easier for students to see what we are learning and is a great tool for students with visual impairments.
