Mini-lessons

After much thought and struggle, I completely changed my topic for my mini-lessons. Originally, I was thinking about targeting something in the area of reading fluency. I struggled with attempting to find creative strategies. I then thought about creating my lessons on simple machines. Again, even though I could think of creative ways to extend the learning, I was struggling to come up with a solid approach. I then settled on European Explorers. I think I have my ideas worked out. However, I'm struggling to find ways to extend learning on this topic. Too late now!
