Teaching Tips +

The Welcome Letter works well sent home ahead of the unit to let parents know clay materials may be needed. Nature Printing (Lesson 2) pairs well as an outdoor learning session. Clay Tic Tac Toe (Lesson 4) makes an excellent end-of-week activity. The Volcano Eruption (Lesson 7) works as a strong cross-curricular Science link and is a great unit finale.
