She makes references and gives reminders to her students to use these and the number line that goes around the room. ]]> 2016-10-31 02:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134128698 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134128933 This artifact reminded me of a very similar activity we would do daily when I was in elementary school! Each morning the students gather on the carpet for Calendar math and learn the days of the week while also learning about months, and place value for math! They use straws and bundles just like I did when I was their age!]]> 2016-10-31 02:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134128933 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129074 This poster is important in the classroom because it reminds students how to be good leaders and not to just boss their friends around. There is a lot of time during the day where the students work independently or in groups, and students explain parts of assignments to each other, and I think this poster is a good reminder for students of how to be respectful to each other.]]> 2016-10-31 02:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129074 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129207 The Classroom and School ruled are displayed right in the front of the classroom to serve as a reminder for this students throughout the week. They also hear and repeat these rules during morning gathering on Mondays and Fridays. The GRIT poster provides reminders about resiliency in the classroom, which goes hand in hand with the rules.]]> 2016-10-31 02:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129207 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129438 During their dailies, the students have to write independently or correct worksheets already created with errors on them. This wall provides assistance for them to work independently when their teacher is busy with other groups. ]]> 2016-10-31 02:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129438 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129584 These are on the door going into the classroom, so that the students can see them as they get to school and enter and exit the classroom.]]> 2016-10-31 02:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129584 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129763 This is probably my favorite artifact so far. There are phrases that are disheartening that I would never want my students to say to themselves on the left, and then on the right, given a positive change in attitude, is a different way of saying that you're not succeeding in the way you want to but with the idea that you'll figure out a way!]]> 2016-10-31 02:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134129763 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134130066 As a part of their dailies, students read independently and with my host teacher.  Having these as a guide during reading is important especially during the independent time. ]]> 2016-10-31 02:42:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134130066 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134130231 This sign isn't inside my specific classroom, but it is in the hallway going down to my classroom, and I think it is important for students especially in such a diverse school (Derby Ridge) to be reminded each day as they walk into class that everyone is welcome. ]]> 2016-10-31 02:45:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134130231 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134130248 Hocus Pocus...Everybody Focus; Class Class...Yes Yes; All Set?...You Bet!]]> 2016-10-31 02:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134130248 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134130336 As the students learn new words that they know how to spell they're added to the word wall!]]> 2016-10-31 02:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/134130336 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141297151 At the beginning and middle of each day, the students in my classroom participate in brain breaks such as yoga to practice balance and and coordination and then think about it sessions to practice mindfulness.]]> 2016-12-02 03:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141297151 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141297625 Each morning, the students complete morning work that is a series of math and reading/writing problems per day that gets their brains working as they start their days. ]]> 2016-12-02 03:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141297625 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141297857 Each classroom has sheets of paper that are requests for counseling appointments. In order to make it so that the students can understand the usage, they refer to problems or issues as a small, medium, or big rock. The students can turn them in at any time, and the counselor will come talk to them based on the severity of the issue. ]]> 2016-12-02 03:49:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141297857 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141297974 My teacher promotes the idea of learning through playing in her classroom. She believes that it is important to play with others and have a playful dialogue in order to learn from their imaginations and from their conversations]]> 2016-12-02 03:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141297974 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141298076 My teacher sends folders home every friday with any completed work, and anything that may need to be returned to the classroom signed by a parent or completed. This way of communication by the teacher does not bombard the parents each night, but gives them something to look forward to at the end of each week.]]> 2016-12-02 03:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141298076 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141298373 There are specific close reading strategies that my teacher uses, and having students learn responsibility through their own independence is constant in her classroom]]> 2016-12-02 03:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141298373 lorenelizhoward https://padlet.com/lorenelizhoward/l3h46c9964x/wish/141298466 Each student has a job throughout the week.
