Themes offer a method that attempts to reach the educational needs and levels of all of my students. And, by offering a variety of activities, I can meet all styles of learning. I enjoy developing thematic units to use during the school year. Working together is fun for us and keeps us sharp. We search for activities that are interesting and that reach our student's wide range of needs and differing learning styles.
Many activities are hands-on and involve cooperative group projects.
To integrate the content areas, we include reading, math, writing, research, science, social studies, and art ideas. We judge success by the positive reaction of our students and by the results of their achievements.
