My Counseling and Mental Health class requires a PBM. I am creating shared google folders between each of my students and myself for them to keep all their PBM documents. At the end of the semester, everything they need will be in that folder.

Science Notebook - Interactive  - We draw, define, discover in this notebook. It helps them have long term success as well as weekly success as they work through the standards. Maybe a lower test taker - can find  success in the drawing portion. Or maybe a student who struggles with workload  -can pace themselves to finish as there is consistent structure.

This was my first year creating a one-page syllabus that was straight to the point and easy to comprehend. The students really understood our routine from the start. Also, this is my first year using the Remind App and it has already been rewarding with parent/teacher communication.

I have had a lot of success teaching new coding skills to my 8th graders this year. We have started coding lessons in the past, but I have never had a group this advanced this early in the school year. I am excited to see what we are able to accomplish as the year goes on!

I am a visual learner and I learn best when I have a way to organize my thoughts. We use graphic organizers in the classroom and add to them as we go along. We also use the notecard function on the new smart boards and add key concepts to each lesson. The note cards serve as a visual and show the progression of ideas.

I have always been a visual learner and I am always in need of a way to organize my thoughts. In the classroom we use graphic organizers that we add to each day as a way to organize information and help us focus. Using the new smart boards, we create notecards that we add key concepts to each lesson. We then go back and review the note cards and discuss the building of ideas.

Procedural chants...
Mrs. Caldwell: "Hands on Top!..."
Class: "Everybody Stop!"
------------
Mrs. Caldwell: Zip it, lock it!..."
Class: "Put it in your pocket!"

These allow for subluminal community-building while the class transitions from busy activities to instant structure. They also allow Mrs. Caldwell to be a roaming, comforting presence when coaching one-on-ones, and then loud and authoritative (without being abrasive) for addressing the whole class.

Effective individualized practice...Mrs. Ledford's clear pattern from direct instruction at board, to over-the-shoulders for individualized instruction/coaching lets students get comfortable with this system (especially for math) of formative assessment. They know she will get to each one of them while they practice individually, and then work back the podium/board for the next step of direct instruction.

Classroom setup...Originally began with a different setup but adapted within the first week upon realizing the classroom dynamic, spacing, proximity control, and ideal pairing. This arrangement makes for great sense of community while still having an understood focal point.

Metacognition...at the first grade level! After reading a book as a class, students discussed what they now know and what they can do with it. Their level of insight in the reflective parts -- "Books help us think about what we have learned and share that with others" especially -- was really impressive. Mrs. McGaha prompted them (Socratically) for answers, following up each answer with a next Depth of Knowledge question (What part of the book showed this? Why do you think that's the case? How can we summarize what you said?) and had great buy-in, with each of these answers coming from a different student as they jockeyed to get theirs written on the board.
