Lesson Reflections Grade 1 February 2018 by https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx en-us 2018-02-21 20:26:18 UTC 2018-03-01 17:36:02 UTC hello@padlet.com I think my students sometimes are not sure what they are solving for and need extra prompting and direction in this area. The immediate response is guessing answers. My stronger students at times struggle to persevere through justifying their thoughts. I can tell when they just want me to tell them something. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235030570 2018-02-24 22:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235030570 It is difficult at times to keep the students engaged through sharing solutions and ideas. Which could be age/maturity appropriate for them. It takes time to build this. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235030664 2018-02-24 22:28:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235030664 Planning and collaborating helps me to know how my energy should be directed during a lesson. I am more able to anticipate student thoughts and ask students to explain their thoughts. Providing the students with a means to express their ideas through the materials we plan to use is beneficial. Also discussing things like: how something went in another classroom, asking what they would have done differently, what went well, what to anticipate from similar students, what adjustments could better prepare students to best face their task... This is all very beneficial and helps me to see different perspectives. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235030818 2018-02-24 22:29:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235030818 I found that my stronger students struggled to justify what their answers meant even after multiple attempts at questioning them and guiding them in terms of where to look. I am continuously pushing them with this piece. I think this is something that they want me to tell them, even in small group. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235031299 2018-02-24 22:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235031299 I like the co-teaching model because I get to see the lessons and I am better able to facilitate learning with other lessons and can use those ideas to better https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235031699 2018-02-24 22:42:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/235031699 I really like the co-teaching model. It gives me the opportunity to see the best way to guide the students to solve a problem through questioning . I've learned so much each time. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236948975 2018-03-01 15:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236948975 It was interesting to see the different ways the students explained how they solved the problem. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236957643 2018-03-01 15:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236957643 To continue probing students to explain their thinking and guiding them through questioning https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236959665 2018-03-01 15:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236959665 I noticed some of the student were having difficulty dividing the pizza into 8 slices. This took time away from actually solving the problem. However, the students that used a different strategy were able to persevere and solve the problem https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236960649 2018-03-01 15:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236960649 I thought it was beneficial during the planning sessions to anticipate different ways the students might go about solving the problem. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236966165 2018-03-01 15:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/236966165 I like the co-teaching model because it is helpful to have a discussion about what we observed students doing and discussing during the lesson. It is also helpful to have someone else in the room to https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/237038723 circulate and help guide the students that have a difficult time getting started.

Some students dove in and persevered, others needed much more guidance in making sense of the problem and how to approach solving it. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/237057726 2018-03-01 17:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/237057726 It was helpful during the planning sessions to anticipate different ways the students might go about solving the problem. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/237057851 2018-03-01 17:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/56wxdplnogtx/wish/237057851
