Primary GATE -- AIR! Active, Creative, Academic, and Hands-on!
I am always trying to figure out what to do with my little primary groups, and this unit was a definite hit with my kindergartners. It would work well with 1st grade too or the regular 2nd grade classroom. The full unit contains more than 2 hours of contact time.
It’s active, fun, and challenging for these little ones and seemed to have the right combination of “get up and move,” imagination, creativity, and “making” along with academic tasks.
We learn about four important properties of air

And, it opens many possibilities for creativity in how the student chooses to represent the artifacts they find, and ho

Animal Research Choice Board
This simple choice board was created for students in kindergarten through 2nd grade who are ready to decide what to create after researching an animal. I find that offering too many choices at first with younger students is overwhelming so these 4 projects I believe are easiest to accomplish independently. Students will need for you to supply the materials to create their project, but then they should be well on their way to creating their presentation!
