Integrated Subjects at BESE!
 In an effort to integrate science, technology, engineering and writing, the first grade students in Mrs. Shawna DeCola's class spent time researching an animal habitat of their choice on child safe websites in class like National Geographic and Smithsonian. Once they were able to write about their animal's habitat using science language, they created a plan to engineer a habitat for their animal. The students accepted the challenge of creating habitats out of recyclable materials from home. Barberton Elementary School East recently had a reuse / recycle / repurpose assembly so students were aware of the materials they could use and reuse. After completing their projects, students deposited leftover materials in organized containers in the main hallway at BESE. They were excited to sort, recycle, and do their part. |
