Thinking Outside the Bean: All You Ever Wanted to Know About the Mexican Jumping Bean and More!

Have you ever had a unit or activity you wanted to implement in your classroom, but it didn’t fit the theme of your grade level or school? What did you do? Did you file it away and save it for next year? Did you use the activity anyway and not tie it to the theme? Or did you modify the activity and bring it in as a part of the theme? This unit takes a look at incorporating ideas that arise during the school year into existing universal themes.

This book contains over 100 activities to do with Mexican jumping beans. Activities include experiments, poetry, art, music, and more! All activities are based on the universal concepts of wonders, patterns, changes, relationships, systems, and structures.
