Week 6
Week 6
What did I learn this week?
This week we learned about turtles, and the impacts humans and nature have on their life. We read a book called Turtle, Turtle Watch Out! We learned all about dangers turtles face every day, and all of the ways people need to help them. After we played a fun game, and learned more facts about turtles. One that really stood out to me was that one in every thousand turtles make it through all the dangers turtles face. There are so many human and natural things that both positively and negatively affect turtle's life and life patterns.
How can I apply what you've learned to your teaching in the future?
One thing I will use in my future teaching is the book Turtle, Turtle Watch Out! As I thought it was a great introduction into the topic. I also loved the game that correlated with the book. I thought that it was excellent to fill in the graph alongside the game. This was students have a visual of how often turtles are able to survive the incidences
they go through.
What are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?
I knew that bees used flowers for pollination. This week in class, we places dead bees on a wooden stick and mimicked the process of this pollination for our fast plants.
Hi Hanna!
ReplyDeleteI also mentioned in my post that only 1 in 1,000 sea turtles actually survive to adulthood, and I think that is a fact that really stands out in a sad way. I also like how you mentioned you would start out the topic on sea turtles with the book we read in class, I think that is a great idea!
Hi Hanna! I learned a lot about sea turtles from the book and activities. I also really liked the book! I think it was a great way to introduce the topic of sea turtles, and the different obstacles they have to go through in order to survive.
ReplyDeleteHello! I agree that the game was very helpful in visualizing the life of a sea turtle before they make it to sea. I believe I would use this activity in my future classroom because it was very fun and informative. I think students learn best when they can do hands on activities. Simulations like this game are perfect for helping students grasp concepts.
