Bellringers are a great way to create structure for the beginning part of your class.  Students know to expect some work within the first 10 -15 minutes of class.   How long students take to complete/gather the information, indicates for me how much more we need to be doing to get the objective across.

Exit Tickets can be useful to tell what you may need to review the next day.  We use exit tickets to discern the difference between LaMark and Darwin's findings on natural selection.

Formative assessments-Students need to be assessed for knowledge and skill based on where they are.  This means that not every assessment will look the same, they will be differentiated.  For example, students may verbalize knowledge about a particular objective instead of writing it.

Formative assessments- I feel that a teacher needs to use  several types of assessment to make sure you are meeting all of the student’s needs in your class. The more variety of assessments you use the more data you can get about student learning. Some assessments that are formative can be very long for students to complete like test but there are also immediate fast results you can get when doing formative assessments on students like the simple thumbs up . These quick types will give you immediate results so you can continue or change at that time if needed to help with student understanding, application, and knowledge of what you are trying to teach.

I have students give me a thumbs up/down/somewhere-in-between. I check their work along the way by walking around and making suggestions or jumping into their Google Docs/Slides and making comments. I also use Nearpod for notes and get instant feedback through the various interactive activities.

Minuto Loco are 60 second drill checks we do with verb conjugations. Students create and maintain their individual bar graphs with dates and verbs so we can visually see their improvement.

I have the students answer questions throughout class. Sometimes they will get to work in groups and discuss concepts with each other. They then will present their final results to the rest of the class. We then can have a class discussion to see if we are all on the same page.

Scientific inquiry is very important and these two strategies are some of the best to gauge student thinking. This also allows me to steer them in the right direction in a way that is meaningful to them. These seem to be the hardest for my students, yet they are the skills that many employees will be looking for in "real-world" applications.

 I use observations and active questioning/answers, graphic organizers, puzzles, and word games about the skills/content we cover. I have used two projects this semester to assess comprehension of leveled chapter books the students chose from the class library. Also, I have an online progress monitoring data assessment that is used every 15 days that helps to assess comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, phonics/spelling.

There are a few review questions for students to answer about material from the previous day when they first get to class. They complete posters to diagram the different systems they learn about. We also play a review game in teams using white boards.
