Rationale

My unit is intended for third grade students, but could easily be modified to educate other grade levels. The students who will be participating in this unit directly are students at Davis Street Arts and Academics Interdistrict Magnet School. While the students in my classes range in academic performance, they all love science. My classroom is an inclusion setting where special education students are mainstreamed to full participation in the general education curriculum with modifications. My special education students will receive lower leveled books on volcanoes, picture cards for vocabulary words and other means to assisting their learning such as graphic organizers and T charts. A peer leader will also be assigned to assists other students who might struggle with the reading and writing section of an activity.
