  1. What’s Smaller Than a Pygmy Shrew? Laura, Kileen, Kate, Erica, Ashley

  2. GLE standards (Math & Science): • Measurement: 2. Apply appropriate techniques, tools and formulas to determine measurements • A. Use standard or non-standard measurement • Use a referent for measures to make comparisons and estimates

  3. Phase of the Learning Cycle: • Explore • Students already have basic knowledge about these concepts from real-life interactions and from reading this book. • Students will be furthering their knowledge by making comparisons between various organisms using their relative sizes.

  4. Overview of Mini-Lesson: • We would begin the activity by comparing a few of the organisms listed on the first few pages (ex. shrew vs. elephant, ladybug vs. leaf) • Then, the students are asked to come up with additional organisms to compare to those already discussed (ex. ladybug vs. dog)

  5. Connection to prior articles: • “Literacy in the Learning Cycle” Everett & Moyer (2009). • When students are able to make connections to children’s literature, they can place a meaning behind the science or math concept being taught.
