Lesson Reflections Grade 3 January 2018 by https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw en-us 2018-01-18 17:20:13 UTC 2025-10-09 04:25:31 UTC hello@padlet.com katie_rogers3 https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/222540658 My students pleasantly surprised me with how well they did persevering through these problems. Most students did not want a hint and worked to solve and make sense of the tasks on their own. They collaborated well with their group/partners because they were so determined to unlock the box.

Having two boxes and several groups for this allowed students to work at their own pace and not feel rushed. As a co-teaching lesson, the collaboration helped to manage and check in on students as they worked and take note of the strategies being used.

I wish more people would have contributed to the discussion. I picked specific questions hoping that they would open up and dive deeper into a reflection. -Tori]]> 2018-01-23 18:13:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223925442 victoria_borowy https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223927940 I thought the class overall did an amazing job. They were told to open 3 locks, but all persevered to unlock four. The partners worked extremely well together and when one person was upset/frustrated, the other person gave them a pep talk. All students waited a pretty long time to ask for their "hint". Some groups didn't even use a hint. -Tori]]> 2018-01-23 18:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223927940 victoria_borowy https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223930037 I plan on using the same partners in the future. They worked extremely well on this task. Also, I feel like I didn't give as much help as I normally do. I realized that sometimes I jump in to help when really I need to give the students more time to struggle productively. -Tori]]> 2018-01-23 18:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223930037 victoria_borowy https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223932257 I like seeing the tasks ahead of time and talking as a team about where strengths and weaknesses may arise.- Tori]]> 2018-01-23 18:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223932257 katie_rogers3 https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223933486 We did this as a community circle. In the first round we went around the whole circle, and the second was popcorn style. I was impressed with the though students put behind their answers when asked how they collaborated with their partner/group. Students were able to reflect on what was challenging and what went well. - Katie]]> 2018-01-23 18:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223933486 victoria_borowy https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223933746 I like how the co-teaching model always revolves around problem solving. I like how you come into the classroom because it helps us recognize how to take what we are learning in PD and implement it in our classroom- Tori.

I feel like there are times when I do not give enough time for student-student collaboration or I often and guiding them too much. I want to be able to allow students to explore ways to problem solve and persevere own their own. - Katie]]> 2018-01-23 18:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223935071 katie_rogers3 https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223937316 I enjoyed this co-teaching experience because it allowed me to take step back and observe my all my students as they problem solved. I feel like I often focus on certain individuals when it is just me, but this experience allowed me to see all the students and their strategies. With 2 teachers in the room we could appropriately guide and observe groups/individuals. ]]> 2018-01-23 18:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/223937316 https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/225898682 I have seen growth in the students being able to work with different partners and being able to preserve through each of the tasks. I hope to see this transfer into other problem solving activities- G.C.]]> 2018-01-30 00:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/225898682 I was extremely happy with my students and how they were working together with their partner. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226218767 George]]> 2018-01-30 17:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226218767 I wish that more of the students were able to give an explanation during closure, instead of just having 4 or 5 of the students respond. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226219034 George]]> 2018-01-30 17:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226219034 Knowing what the students are going to be working on before hand is always beneficial. https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226219822 George]]> 2018-01-30 17:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226219822 I would like to give them more work to complete with a partner, not just in groups.

Most just needed general reminders and persevered without asking for hints. ]]> 2018-01-30 17:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226227781 Melissa https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226228330 I thought they were very reflective about what was challenging about each task as well as articulating a time they were frustrated. They also gave specific feedback for how their partner was helpful during the task. ]]> 2018-01-30 17:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226228330 Melissa https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226228851 I think solving the tasks allowed us to predict student mix ups/challenges for each task. It also allowed us to plan guiding questions to ask during the process. ]]> 2018-01-30 17:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226228851 Melissa https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226230013 My students work well with their friends but sometimes struggle with working well with all classmates. I think because the task was so engaging that they were able to work well with their groups/partners to "break out". ]]> 2018-01-30 17:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226230013 Melissa https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226239559 I like how we are putting things into action with the co-teaching model. I feel like I get to take a closer look at their problem solving and discussion when we are co-teaching. I am able to collect more data and have more time with each partnership. This allows me to have more information when we reflect. ]]> 2018-01-30 18:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cheryl_akers/bonoj7hf77mw/wish/226239559
