Learning about caves
In my class, our exploration of caves was high interest. Students were completely engaged in the variety of activities we worked on. Even in sixth grade, I found that this topic was new to many.
I did have a few students who had visited caves and could share a little about their past experiences. However, for the most part, this was a new topic.
The word list I created was used as a resource as students were completing their work. It helped with writing activities and was a way for students to check spelling as they worked.
