I'm working on getting a little more organized for substitutes and such. I have started a document that gives general guidelines for different materials in the lab and classroom management techniques. My classroom setup is that of a specialist. I see 22 classes each week, 1st - 5th grades for one hour and kindergarten for a half an hour. There are four classes each of kindergarten through 3rd grade with a maximum of 24 students in each class. There are three classes each of 4th and 5th grades with a maximum of 32 students in each class. At each grade level there are approximately 96 students. This poses challenges for project storage and managing materials that are shared at a grade level and between grade levels. Below is the link to the live document as I create it. Feel free to take a look and also check back for updates and improvements.
I have so appreciated opportunities other educators have shared with me. This blog shares the opportunities I have discovered for students and educators as they occur and shares activities and ideas from my elementary engineering lab. Students in elementary engineering build working models, use robotics, and design 3D printing projects using project-based learning. Opinions expressed here are my own.
