Last week my students learned about many different types of landforms. We had viewed, discussed, and identified the following: oceans, rivers, lakes, valleys, mountains, plateaus, islands, hills, waterfalls, and volcanoes.
We started by watching Eric Carle's story The Tiny Seed. It's a journey of the seeds which also featured different landforms such as mountain and ocean. This had given a great motivation to my students to know more about landforms. You can find the video by clicking the link below.

To integrate the story to our Language Arts, we used this to engage the children in event sequencing by drawing it in their journal.
After discussing and exploring about facts of different landforms, my students drew their favorite landform and were prompted to write something about their choice. I'm so proud to see that they are soaring into their inventive writing skill.
Look at this coloring product with their own written captions. Another evidence of their growing skills in inventive spelling. They are just 5 years old but I trust that they can do HUGE things.
How could we forget about this Science experiment using vinegar,baking soda and food coloring to make our own VOLCANO? This was a hit!
