The Art of Engagement: Integrating Content to Motivate Our Youngest Learners (K-2 Teachers)

Teaching is both a science and an art.  While the Science of Reading, Literacy act and Numeracy act currently rule the day, let's not forget the art of a truly engaging "hook" to ignite curiosity and a passion for learning!  In this session we will explore integrating content in big and small ways to motivate our youngest learners. Using our science and social studies standards/curriculum is a great jumping off point to plan integrated experiences for our students.  Book clubs, book bundles, curiosity projects, purposeful play, room transformations, and even choice of writing tools will be some of the ideas we will cover.  All of these are easily modified for any K-2 classroom.
