Instruction Procedures:
Learning station-A (Social Studies) (computers or laptops will be needed)
Day 1,2,3: Rechenka’s Eggs- Students will go to <__//http://kk9541.edu.glogster.com/////glog-8919-2990///__> and follow the links to complete activities and watch a video on the history of eggs within other cultures and Rechneka’s Eggs. ( Day 1: Video, Day 2: Ukraine Egg History, and Day 3: Worksheets) Following completion of online component students will have completed the two worksheet activities that will be kept to be put in packet of materials from other centers. (worksheet 1 and 2) This section will take three one half hour rotations to complete.
Learning Stations-C (Language Arts): Day 1&2:Students in their rotation groups will coral read as a small group A Chick Hatches Day 2&3: After reading students will complete the worksheet. The diagram must be labeled and completed for this assignment. Students will hold on to the completed packet which will be turned in at the completion of this three day rotation.
