PD 3-5-18 Sharing by Mrs. Grohar https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing en-us 2018-03-05 18:24:23 UTC 2026-01-03 22:56:36 UTC hello@padlet.com Math https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238621788 In Math we follow a map curriculum that actually follows the standards. We also reteach the students that don't understand the lessons. We incorporate daily problem solving and higher level thinking. We also have students use Ascend]]> 2018-03-06 14:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238621788 I think what makes a difference is that students see reading as a punishment sometimes. They would never see math as a punishment. Kids like math more than reading and I try to show students that Reading can be fun. https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238621917

Also the use of PQA (put question in answer) when answering questions in any subject area.]]> 2018-03-06 14:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238621966 5th grade kltolliver https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238622230 For the low growth, it seems like they need lots of repetition of a skill before they grasp a concept. 
Math - lots of scaffolding and modeling helps, especially for the low
Reading - starting the year expecting students to write answers in PQA helped with answering questions on Istep. ]]> 2018-03-06 14:32:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238622230 1 & 2) MobyMax has been a giant help in second grade....it has allowed me to push the higher kids easier and given me more time to spend with the lower. https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238622544 3) What is working is using our Daily Language Review and a lot of conferencing with reading time.

Also, Moby Max is great for filling in the gaps. I make it as part of mandatory homework, like a reading log. Flocabulary has been helpful for vocabulary and reading, but because there are so many componenents to ELA (reading, writing, spelling, grammar, vocabulary) it's hard to follow just the standards.]]> 2018-03-06 14:33:00 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238622695 Kindergarten https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238622865 Our low growth students tend to be our higher kids in K. Guided reading groups and book bags help with these kids because I can focus on skills that meet their needs. The lower ability students also benefit from these strategies, but these students do not typically get as much support from home, which can be challenging. With math, it's easier to pick apart your standards and find specific resources for those skills than it is for reading, so I think that it something that works for us in terms of success in math.]]> 2018-03-06 14:33:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238622865 1. Some things I noticed in the classroom for reading... SSR time is consistent, the use of Red Dot tests- these keep student accountable and allow students to check their progress. https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238623038 2. In math, I have noticed the consistent use of anchor charts, students working in pairs- this gives students much needed support, especially for new content.]]> 2018-03-06 14:33:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238623038 First Grade https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238623057 1.  Teach Your Monster to Read.  Has been a great success for our students.
2. Small reading groups.
3.  Center time focusing on skills that the students need extra  help with.
4.  The Tiggly app on the IPads have been a success.]]> 2018-03-06 14:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238623057 In PE I try to stress vocab with students. I believe moving and being able to see vocab words in action. https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238623278 2018-03-06 14:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238623278 Building background, vocabulary, strengthening reading strategies for reading by engaging the students in stations and read works. fmmajchrowicz https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238623332
Math activities, math games, math sites have strengthened
their math skills Moby Max and Prodigy.

Staying on a skill for nearly 3 weeks really gives students enough time to really understand and practice the skills and also dig deeper. We make sure students get 30 minutes of Silent Reading daily. We also read with the lower students and read with them.

I am trying to get the students to be critically thinking about what they learned in STEM that day.]]> 2018-03-06 14:35:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rrellis/marchsharing/wish/238625076
