Read A Book or Eat A Snack?

Did you know that reading a book is just like eating your favorite snack? My kindergarteners sure do! Just like books, food labels have pictures, words, letters, and a front/black. Sounds just like a book doesn't it? If your students are bored with traditional lessons about Concepts of Print, try this one on for size. Elementary students love to go on scavenger hunts, and what better way than to incorporate one of their favorite things-- FOOD! If you want a technology component too, try PicCollage. They can take pictures and make a collage of all their findings!

STEAM! STEAM! We all scream for STEAM! Kids love STEAM, I love STEAM, and basically my entire college class does too! Throughout the semester, we have learned to teach math, art, and science, in addition to incorporating technology in every lesson. For once, however, we got to work on all of these things at once! The result was more fun than anything we had imagined!
