Owning Goals - A second grade integrated project

Ms. Dillion's second grade class utilized technology and integrated subjects to design a classroom cafe. After looking at the content standards for each subject as well as the technology standards, she came up with goals that the children would be able to understand and put together a presentation, having handouts and using the students own words for what each goal meant to them. They used peer partners to review what they were working on for each of their personal goals and recognizing when they needed to expand or refine their goals. The strategies used were setting objectivesand cooperative grouping. The cooperative grouping works because they are in two persons groups, which is developmentally appropriate for second grade. Setting objectives and thouroughly going over and having the students own words is the best strategy that she used.
