If you want to celebrate the start of a science unit, try the Magical "M" Experiment. Put an M&M in warm water with the M facing up. After about 10 minutes, watch as the M floats up from the M&M!

Happy Valentine's Day! For a fun activity, look up a video and make an origami heart with your students!

Teacher Tip: Allow students to act out what you are teaching them (i.e. battles in social studies or stories). My students love to participate, and it helps them understand the content better.

Teacher Tip: For your class read aloud, read a Choose Your Own Adventure book! Students love deciding which way the story will go.

Happy Friday! Today, for the Week of the Young Child, I have listed some of my favorite activities I like to do with my family! I encourage children and their families to try some of these activities together this weekend! @ButlerCOE #BUCOEIMPACT #ButlerECE @StMarysCC #WOYC20

@Ms__Mejia @ButlerCOE @StMarysCC I love this provocation, Miranda! I think it will be so neat and such a great learning experience for children to search for something that relates to their senses!

On this day for the Week of the Young Child, I have a fun provocation for young children! It asks children to find items outside and tell the items' stories, whether a rock, leaf, or flower! Watch the video for my example! @ButlerCOE #BUCOEIMPACT #ButlerECE @StMarysCC #WOYC20
