MOD 4- Assignment 6- Flipped Classroom

The idea of the Flipped Classroom is very interesting, but I need to see a primary flipped classroom. I would like to visit one for a few days.  I can see the benefits, I am just not sure if young children can handle the responsibility.  I am going to use some aspects of the idea.  I have started letting my students use the computer and IPAD to explore their Scholastic News/Weekly Reader before we discuss it as a class.  Most of the students use the time wisely and come to the carpet prepare to discuss.  I may try more of the flipped classroom techniques in science and social studies. 

This assignment did help me find some great resources for the life cycle unit I will be teach over the next week or so. Searching for pictures and powerpoints I was able to find a few resources on the whitetail deer.  We now study the life cycle of the deer in second grade.  I was able to find a few pictures and a powerpoint.
