Across the Curriculum…

INVENTORS!

LANGUAGE ARTS & SOCIAL STUDIES-* To go along with our Texas Treasures story about African American Inventors, and to also be

submitted as a graphic design for the Multimedia Festival, the students went to a website about inventions on my

Moodle page and used the info to create pic collages of the inventors.

AnimalLife CyclesLANGUAGE ARTS & SCIENCE- *Students scanned the QR codes from a

Powerpoint for a non-fiction reading assignment. They read about different animal lifecycles from the websites and decided which one they wanted to write about. Students saved the pictures on

the camera roll to create pic collages in groups.

Butterfly Life Cycle

Mealworm Life Cycle

Frog Life Cycle

Animal Research ProjectLANGUAGE ARTS & SCIENCE- *

Students picked an animal to research and used the San Diego Zoo Kids app to find facts about their animal to complete an information fact sheet. After writing their research papers and typing them in the computer lab, the students were able to create a popplet web of facts on

their animals and then create a pic collage as well.

Animal Adaptations LANGUAGE ARTS & SCIENCE-*

Students Used the QR Codes on the PowerPoint to scan an animal

adaptation to read about. Then they wrote about the adaptations. There was also another QR code to scan to work in groups and take a quiz together on the ipad about

what they learned.

own.
