You will find the standards for elementary (K-2) on the Nevada elementary website:
You will find the CCSD standards here:
Parents should be aware their children will be expected to know and are able to do the standards
defined which include reading, math, and science to help them gain knowledge as they continue
their education journey.

Objectives (What will children expect to learn)

Children will learn how to think outside the box with the wisdom they know and the new
knowledge they know. They will be able to get an understanding how things work and how useful
they are. My students are expected to create a new invention or an existing one either alone or in
a group. This will allow them to learn how to work in groups.
Materials and Equipment needed:
● A clip from Disney movies (Luca two of the boys discovering how to build a vehicle,
Little Meraid she discovers how to use a fork properly)
● Youtube videos (building a volcano)
● Art supplies
● Books
● Sketch of their first drawing
● List of steps how they came up with their idea
2. Teaching (What will you do?)]
I will also take part of this project teaming up with each and one of my students for five minutes
to help them create a project on their own. Each team will have the opportunity to either present
their project inside the classroom or outside. With the help of this project I will be able to observe
my students get an idea how they will work under stress.
3. Closure:
At the end of the project I will create a race for my sudetns to particapte in to complete three

different tasks strength, speed and movement. Their classmates will be the judge of everything.
