Students will learn about the importance of Acceptable Use Policies (AUP). Students will discuss what an AUP is and why they exist. Students will work together to create an AUP for their class.

In this unit, students read the core texts The Hundred Dresses and Garvey's Choice as a way of exploring what it means to be accepting and tolerant of themselves and others. The Hundred Dresses challenges students to think about the different roles associated with bullying through the eyes of the narrator, who struggles with her own involvement with a classmate who is bullied. Garvey's Choice illustrates the way others influence the way we see ourselves, both positively and negatively, and the power of accepting ourselves by tracing Garvey's path to self-discovery and acceptance. Both texts are full of moments and messages that are easily relatable for students at this grade level. Therefore, it is our hope that the experiences of the characters in both texts will serve as a neutral launching point for deeper discussions about bullying, tolerance, acceptance, and forgiveness.

In reading, the main focus of the unit is on identifying and tracing the central message across a longer text. Over the course of the text, students will develop a deep understanding of each character's thoughts, feelings, and motivations, which will help them identify and explain how the central message is developed and conveyed through the characters. Students will also begin to understand how successive parts of a text build on each other to push the plot forward. Particularly with Garvey's Choice, students will analyze the genre features of novels written in verse and how each part helps build and develop the central message. This unit also focused on point of view. Students will begin to notice the point of view in which a story is told and compare that with their own point of view.

Lesson plan introducing and exploring via hands-on lab the idea that raising acidity in the world's oceans is reducing the availability of carbonate, which impacts calcifying organisms such as oysters and sea urchins.

The lesson explores Appalachian music within Virginia, focusing on simulating the acoustical recording process to convey technical challenges and artistic considerations. Modeled after the Bristol Sessions of 1927, conducted by Ralph Peer for the Victor Talking Machine Company, the session primarily used acoustical recording technology prevalent at the time. Performers sang or played instruments into large recording horns, transmitting sound vibrations to a cutting stylus, which etched onto a master disc. Despite limitations in fidelity and dynamic range, the Bristol Sessions captured the essence of early country, blues, and Appalachian music, significantly influencing American popular music's trajectory.

This lesson encourages movement and active learning and can be used to practice solving addition and subtraction problems. This activity can be used as a math station to accommodate a small group of students at one time.

This lesson should  be taught as part of a math rotation. It encourages students to actively participate in many first grade math skills that should be reviewed and mastered before the end of the year. Students will be paired up in groups and rotate through different stations. 

This lesson encourages movement/active learning and can be used as a whole-group or small-group activity to promote making high frequency words into sight words for students.  Students are asked to say, segment, and spell high frequency words.

This lesson/activity includes active movement with the learning of ordinal numbers. After receiving an introduction/explanation to ordinal numbers, the students will take turns throwing their own bean bag from behind a line. When finished, the class will together list off the order of farthest to shortest throws using ordinal numbers (i.e., first - Anna, second - John, etc.).

This is an active learning lesson designed for primary grades where students will create their own repeating or growing patterns using movement. This lesson should be completed after students have a general working knowledge of patterns and are ready to develop their skills further by creating their own patterns.
