We've been learning about ocean creatures for the last two weeks.
Earlier in the week I showed the kids another ocean video. This time they took notes while they watched.

Afterwards they drew a picture of life under the ocean. They had to include the three animals they took notes on, complete with a talking bubble with the animal telling one or two facts about itself.
I thought it was a fun way to keep the kids both engaged and really thinking about what they were learning.
Feel free to grab the note-taking sheet.

Your kids look so grown up and ready for grade 2 : ) Their illustrations are wonderful.

Thanks, Beth Ann and Jennifer :)
DeleteThey do look grown up. It's funny how that happens! This looks great. How do you teach them to take notes?

Thanks, Kimberley. I stopped the video every 12 minutes or so and we talked about what we had learned. I gave them some verbal examples and they went with it.
DeleteI love how simple this is! What a great way to engage kids at their level. Thanks!
