Freebie! Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS) for Kindergarten

Please check out my latest post on the full-of-great-resources-collaborative-blog PreK and K Sharing- I blog there on the 29th of every month.  I just posted a freebie that addresses the Kindergarten Next Generation Science Standard (NGSS):

K-ESS2-2: Construct an argument supported by evidence for how plants and animals (including humans) can change the environment to meet their needs.

I've been creating new lesson plans this summer that are in alignment with the NGSS:

Has your school made any decisions on whether or not they are adopting the new science standards? I love the emphasis on engineering in the lower grades! Kids can brainstorm, design and then build original creations - I'm so excited for this upcoming school year, I know my students will love this! Is anyone going back to school soon? Here in NJ, we start after Labor Day. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
