Abstract

The following lessons have been created to support students within a blended classroom in grades 1 and 2. The purpose of the module is to teach students about different patterns and cycles in space, such as day and night, the relationship between the Sun, Moon, Earth and Stars, the phases of the Moon, the seasons, galaxies and constellations. Students are given the tools to not only predict these patterns, but also to observe and describe them through various activities both in the classroom and in the online platform. Students will be utilizing both Seesaw and CGScholar in order to complete digital tasks that supplement and assess learning throughout the module. This practice will allow the teacher to review content for appropriateness, help to assist students that may be struggling with concepts or understandings, and provide a reflection and peer-review platform for students.
