Ways to help your student feel welcomed is to get to know them. Show every student that you care about them not only as a class but as an individual.

Hello Melissa,
I would say teaching virtually has been an experience for me. It has not been bad, but not good as well. It is more so as an awkward adjustment.

Students had to list facts about all the components that made up that habitat, it was really cool.

My Review
I enjoyed reading this collection. I knew about food chains but never really heard of food webs. This collection taught me everything that I needed to know about which animal eat who and how it gets it energy. I like that each other either perform a 5E inquiry showing how these interconnections are good for the animals and connecting them to energy sources. My favorite resource in this collection was “figuring out our food chain” because it gave students a deeper understanding of what food chains and webs are and how they work.
