Once they completed their group activity they used "Meme Generator" to create a meme showing their understanding of Global Warming

Students watch a short video with rap and then explained to Mrs. Chapman what they learned. Next they drew what they would need to take to the moon in their Science Journal

In this center students read a book together and then colored the phases of the moon. Mrs. Chapman did an informal assessment.

Each group used the Web 2.0 Tool "Creator" to worked collaboratively to create 2 phases of the moon during this center.

Students worked in centers to understand the phases of the moon. Brandi had the "I Can" statements printed out for each station and went over each in large group prior to students working in their station.

Brandi Chapman - 1st grade:  We observed students working through stations to help them understand the phases of the moon.
Josie Duck - 3rd Grade:  Students were working on a culmination project for their Civil War unit.  They used the strategy of using text symbols to annotate the text on their chosen civil war person.  Once completed they will use a graphic organizer to create the text for a book they create on their civil war hero.
Courtney Gibbs - 4th grade:  Students worked through a center in teams to understand "Global Warming Effect" on the earth.  They then created a Meme to show their understanding of its effect on earth.
Wendy Garrison - 5th grade:  Was absent due to her son being ill - we had a chance to speak about the transition.

I was able to spend about 15 minutes in Brandi's room before heading to Josie's room - both of you are doing a great job with implementing stations! Pics below

Due to the afternoon assembly I was not able to spend time in Wendy's or Courtney's room with students but I met with both and they showed me the stations they were implementing tomorrow.

We used the board below to use teach the students what pushed people to migrate to the US and what pulled immigrants to the US as well. Wendy Garrison Quote "The map was excellent visual  to show students the migration to the US over the years. Students working together to complete the diagram to show why people came to the US was very effective"

The students watched a video on why explorers wanted to explore SC. They then had to decide what were the truths based on the video.

I was hoping to walk in and see the teachers implementing stations while I assisted. Only Josie Duck was prepared to do this.  As I noted before - the momentum is strong when I am there but once I leave nothing happens.  So after some discussion today I hope that changes.

I made sure that when I left the other teachers had at least 3 stations created for a unit and felt very comfortable with implementing once I left - we will see. Below are pics of Josie's class using stations for a unit on natural resources.

# data[].attributes.body
Met with Josie prior to school starting and we begin setting up her stations for Landforms.  I created a folder for her in DE and added resources for stations as well links for resources for stations as well

Modeled a TPACK lesson for Wendy on the "push and pull" reasons for immigration.

Met with Courtney and we begin planning stations for  Revolutionary War: I will work on a folder as well in DE for this unit on Stations - will email you once I have completed - hopefully tonight

Met with Brandi and we worked on stations as well for the 1st grade unit on "Christmas around the world".

They seem to need me to do a lot of hand holding through the station process - hopefully on my next visit they will be incorporating stations into their instruction.  Teachers overall are having a hard time letting go of control - Teacher led is so imbedded into their teaching style that this is a huge change for them to transition to - they will do it but it will take a little more coaching :)

I first visited Courtney's room and did one of the SOS strategies - 2-1-4 Strategy to introduce a new unit on the Columbian Exchange.    This strategy introduces a unit by providing 2 facts, 1 clue and 4 pictures for the students. It is a very engaging activity to introduce a lesson.  Students love it!
