We started school off with a fun activity cracking geodes. You can find the geode kits on Learn365. Most of our geodes were easy to crack and the students loved them. I used a hammer on a cinder block to crack them open and I did it under my doc cam. I can't wait to do it again!
We looked at the geodes with the class set of magnifying glasses and the microscopes. The class set of magnifying glasses are good quality and durable. They enlarge items 4x. The students loved getting their hands on the microscopes. These are a great kid friendly set of them. I like that you can detach the viewer to look at objects that don't fit under the microscope. They also come with a tray to hold specimens.
Next we used a set of Map Skills Posters to help us better understand how to use a map. I really like this set of posters. It really reinforces what I have been teaching and they are a great visual. I really wish I had them before!
I really recommend checking out Learn 365 for your own classroom needs.
