An Integrated
Lesson: Language Arts, Math and Science
 Martha
Taylor
2nd Grade
Thomas M. Knoles Elementary School
Flagstaff Unified School District, Flagstaff, AZ
In this lesson, Mrs. Taylor lead her students
into discovering how to count by ones, fives, and tens by using
the calendar. She guides the children into a personal knowledge
of what "100" looks like and how 100 days feel as they
prepare for the One Hundredth Day Party to be held that afternoon.
She integrates science into the students day by
discussing the weather with the use of a class-made barometer, the
newspaper and the computer. She encourages her class to predict
the weather and reinforces their predictions with graphs.
Mrs. Taylor's main focus is language arts, and
she holds firmly to the concept that excellent readers begin as
excellent writers. She surrounds her students with a wealth of literature
and published works. She helps every student in her class to realize
they are authors.
