We are doing an exploration and migration social studies unit that needs to be completed in 8 weeks. We want to focus on land migrations like the native americans, gold rush, westward expansion, air explorations like hot air balloons, wright brothers, ameila earhardt, and water exploration like first european explorers, and ocean exploration. Students will also learn how to write narratives during this unit. the final products would include a choose your own adventure story about one of the three types of exploration/ migration of land, air or water, a diarama of the setting and main characters from the story with a stop motion trailer for the story.

Describe and give examples of individual rights guaranteed by the Bill of Rights.

CBL with 4th grade students connected to the California missions

Conduct a multicultural fair to explore and celebrate different cultures. Students will research a country, prepare traditional dishes, and present on cultural practices.

I want to focus my studio on acting skills--voice, facial expression, physical maneurisms, character development. I'm thinking of starting with the kids self-taping a monologue, and then at the end of the studio, when we've completed much of the learning, I want them to self-tape the same monologue and reflect on what changed.

I want to design a project about the rocky shore that incorporates NGSS standards. It will blend math, science, and literacy, with students working together in groups to explore key concepts. My students love Pokemon this year. We want to visit the Birch Aquarium.
