Natalie and I made a grade 1 technology and physical education lesson! It focused on the Canadian food guide to teach students about the three food groups; protein (grow), whole grains (go), and fruits and vegetables (glow). We used Canva to make an interactive lesson. Students would work together to decipher which food group each food would belong to. After it was decided, each student had a turn approaching the board and matching the food to the corresponding section on the plate. 

The other groups were very interesting! Two technology resources that stood out to me were Khan Academy Kids and Minecraft Education. I plan on using both of these in the future. I like Minecraft for its variety of subjects and creative exploration, while Khan Academy has great assessment tools and information built within it.

Coding for Kids To teach grade 5 states of matter, I used Scratch , a technological blogging resource for students to support my lesson plan . Students are required to use scratch to represent the three states of matter; solids, liquids, and gasses by comparing them with one another.  I plan on using this interactive lesson with my students this year in the matter unit to solidify their understanding and allow them to showcase their knowledge to one another. Scratch is an easy-to-use, fun, and enjoyable resource for students to explore. It makes bridging the gap between cross-curricula simple and achievable for teachers wanting to integrate technology. Due to my familiarity with  Scratch , I can utilize it in future teaching with grades k-12 across various subjects.
