For reading my students read articles about winter Olympics sports. They did their own research, wrote down facts, and made a poster. Then they used the tool LOOM to record their own news presentation. The students loved being in front of the camera. Some students who didn't have the best written facts were better at reporting their facts on camera. I plan to use this tool in the future for recorded readings, math explanations, explaining directions to my class, etc. It also links to their Google Drive account so set up is EASY! ]]> 2018-02-21 14:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_bubnick/SLSD_DLD2018/wish/233736599 Article Review in Strength Training https://padlet.com/laura_bubnick/SLSD_DLD2018/wish/233748526 Mike Brossart

I use google forms every day. I differentiate fact practice daily. It takes less than 5 minutes and students get immediate feedback. I put math lessons on google forms. Google can grade papers faster than me. Students check their score when they finish without prompting. Often they look to see why they missed problems. This real life problem solving is much better than me going over the test as a class. I have a theory that students get lower scores on math MAP and AIR assessments because they don't use scratch paper or white boards to work out the problems. Daily math with google forms gives them regular practice with this. But my favorite is reading tests. I attach an audio file with the test and I don't have to use class time to read tests to the students who need it. I can test all students at the same time with differentiated tests while some students have the test read to them. This is a great time saver. Google forms are super easy to create. They save me time and give my students more time for extension and extra practice.]]> 2018-02-22 11:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_bubnick/SLSD_DLD2018/wish/234158298 First Grade Composite Shape Design https://padlet.com/laura_bubnick/SLSD_DLD2018/wish/234191129

To conclude our lesson on learning composite shapes in math, students were asked to use Google Classroom as a tool to design their composite shape. Each student was given directions to use shapes within a google doc to create a new shape such as a boat, or a fish, or a dog. The students really enjoyed using their imagination as well as building on skills taught from the lesson.

Students used Google Classroom to access 2 websites. One was a link to a CBS website so students could track the number of gold medals countries have won in Pyeongchang, and the other was a link to a graph generator. Students used their notes to create a bar graph of the countries (top 6) that won the most gold medals in the Winter Olympics so far. Then, they took a screenshot of their graph and pasted it in a Google Doc. They also used the same Google Doc to create a pictograph displaying the same data. In this way, they were practicing how to organize and show data multiple ways. The students also interpreted the graph by asking and answering at least two questions about the data.

I use Turtle Diary for math fact skill practice. There are multiple games for kids to choose from as well as multiple skill levels to address individual needs. My kids love "Addition Car Race." The faster they answer the fact correctly the faster their car goes and if they answer incorrectly, their car slows down. The advanced levels require regrouping. ]]> 2018-02-22 23:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_bubnick/SLSD_DLD2018/wish/234531493 https://padlet.com/laura_bubnick/SLSD_DLD2018/wish/236739791 2018-03-01 01:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/laura_bubnick/SLSD_DLD2018/wish/236739791
