Hi Everyone!
Fall is in the air, and Muskingum Valley ESC is spotlighting the following student sessions…
Boo-ti-ful Pumpkins (available upon request) (grades 2-3)
Students will examine various math concepts in this “fall themed” video conference lesson. Using a pumpkin the instructor will facilitate an interactive student lesson on circumference and estimation. Student groups work collaboratively to explore the mathematic concepts and to explain their methods of achieving the answer. Appropriate literature is used to solidify the topics explored. All the fun of fall…WITHOUT THE HUGE MESS!!
Citizenship: It's Your Right! (available upon request) (grades 3-6) GREAT addition to “Constitution Day” activities! This distance learning event looks at many different aspects of citizenship. Students will explore the rights and responsibilities of citizens, the branches of the United States government, and patriotism.
Where the Buffalo Roam (available upon request) (grades 4-5) Students will investigate the ways in which the Native Americans relied on the buffalo for their survival.
