In order to access their comprehension this week, I created a simple digital escape room for my students.  They needed to know their vocab and the grammar in order to escape.

When my students submit rough drafts (which is for 95% of their writing), I have simbols to coach them to correct their grammar in Spanish. Over the years, they get used to the simbols and improve on their writing. It's quick because I can make comments in google and canvas plus they have to figure out how to fix their mistakes.

I love the game Code Master because it is a good way for us to unplug in the tech class yet still learn coding concepts. I also love that this is a one player game so kids don't need a friend and it can be used for kids who can't use a computer because they forgot theirs or have a medical reason like a concussion.

Quiz-Quiz-Trade from Kagan Cooperative Learning is one of my favorite learning activities! In my opinion this game can be adapted to suit almost any level or topic. I have used this in 1st grade with just pictures of vocabulary words as well as in older grades where we may introduce or review vocabulary, draft sentences in Spanish based on pictures, or make inferences to spark discussion based on what we see. I always tell the kids that it's really "Teach, Teach, Trade" because our goal is not to evaluate our peers but instead to learn from one another. http://www.theteachertoolkit.com/index.php/tool/quiz-quiz-trade

I saw this at Danville High School over the weekend. Teachers had these "get to know you posters" on their doors. As a district, we have many new teachers added to some of our bigger staffs plus new students coming in during the school year. These posters would allow for staff/students to get to know one another which would bring more connections to our staff when we saw how we things we have in common. I feel like it's a great way to bring unity and build relationships.

Have staff submit a "slide" with a picture on it and a brief caption of what they did over the summer.  Have the slideshow playing as we walk into the auditorium.  Play music (live band or tracks), glow sticks, have us walk through the eagle, play game shows with staff members (I remember they had a "newly wed game one year and they asked some of the married couples of the district to participate).  I have so many more ideas!! The bottom line is to ENERGIZE the staff as we begin the new school year!

Amy Frederick | Teachers can form groups by the best thing they did over the summer (eg. beach, family time, housework, etc.) and then share why this activity was good and what they could bring to the classroom from this activity. For instance, a few summers ago, I hung out at my neighbor's pool a lot and learned how parents feel about different topics and how creative kids can be with play. Doing this would also build relationships since teachers would be sharing their summer interests with people outside their immediate circles yet keeping it relevant to education.

LABEL EVERYTHING! Number each Chromebook, slot, and power cord. This will keep the Chromebook cart organized and user-friendly. Have a flow to and from your cart (line up to the left of the cart, put your device in, then go off to the right). Finally, have ONE kid be in charge of plugging in the devices. If you wait for each kid to plug their own it will take FOREVER!

Students are finishing up their animal research projects in 4th grade. They used Snap and Read to collect their data using the Capture Text tool. The beauty of this is that it saved their internet sources for them and even cited them in MLA format, so I added the task of a Work Cited page to their assignment. They also used one of the templates in Snap and Read to organize their information.

Amy Frederick ··· Called Describe & Draw, students either listen to or read a description of a picture (ex. outfit, room in a house, etc.) and then must draw it, measuring their listening/reading comprehension. Students enjoy getting to be artistic in an academic class and enjoy it even more when it´s a class competition or students describe pictures to each other, requiring language production.

# data[].attributes.body
Amy Frederick ··· When practicing a topic with only a couple possible answers, each student receives an index card or two and writes an answer on each side big in marker. As the teacher asks questions, students hold up the correct side of their card, requiring all to answer and quick feedback from the teacher by reading all answers at once. I use this for picking between verbs with similar meanings or commonly confused tenses in Spanish class but could also be used for true/false or multiple choice in a non-tech review game, similar to Plinkers. It could also be used for picking a corresponding book character.

# data[].attributes.body
Amy Frederick ··· At DHS, since we are so big, not everyone knows each over particularly well, so we could do a staff member of the day, possibly on birthdays or randomized dates. On that day, an email would be sent to everyone with the name, photo, interests, and fun facts/stories about the person. These would be great conversation starters or just make people feel more comfortable talking to others outside their bubble.

A tradition we could start at our district for staff across buildings to meet is an annual DISTRICT wide event - in like February. When everyone's just trying to make it to break. Take an afternoon SIP day to meet people from other buildings and have some FUN as a staff. There are so many great people in district and I don't know many of them.
