I love to co-teach, and it was really fun to come into a 2nd grade class as the guest art teacher! I have 3 resource students in the class, and I appreciate getting to know their whole class. Hill of Fire, byThomas P. Lewis, is a very readable and interesting beginning chapter book, that all children find ways to connect with. It is a true historic event that happened in Mexico, and anything that has to do with volcanoes is appealing to 2nd graders!
I have literature/guided reading unit for Hill of Fire:
and a volcano directed drawing/painting lesson:
And here's a tip: Use watercolor paper, and the colors with pop!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI happened to chance upon your blog and found it very interesting!
We have recently launched a science app that uses augmented reality to enhance classroom teaching. The app
has 3D models for kindergarten to grade 12. I thought you might want to check it out and may be review it on your
blog, if possible.
It is a paid app(with a few models free) but in case you are interested in trying it out I will be happy to provide you
with a free copy.
The link to the app is:

You can also search for the app on the app store as 'Augmenter'.
Do let me know if you would be interested. I am really Looking forward to your response.
happy teaching!
