So I gave myself a goal this year. I want to add as many hands on, experiential activities into my class as possible. So far, they have been an amazing success! I blogged about this activity last month.
This week my kiddos got to experience what it felt like to be a hominid. They looooooved it and beg for more labs!!!

| Homo Habilis very proud of their horrible tower and their lack of fine motor skills. |

Missing your posts... :) Hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteI just finished a killer class and didn't have time to blog. It is over, though, and I am back!
DeleteI really like the idea of labs for SS. I teach seventh grade social studies and language arts. What is your advice on how to go about starting this in my own classroom?

I really enjoyed the lab ideas you have! As a future social studies teacher, I am wondering what you do to increase your personal learning network?
