 O xwen o my zoct xand O saiz, “Zoct, O broked my arml in hr plaxces.” Hex saiz, “Wellp, tayl xout of th laces.” 

Then tell students to follow your directions to unscramble the sentence. Read aloud the following: 1. Change all the z’s to d’s. 2. Cross off all the x’s. 3. Add a t to the end of the second word, the beginning of the third word, and the beginning of the fifteenth word. 4. Change the three capital o’s to capital i’s. 5. Add a p to the beginning of the last word. 6. Cross off the last letter in the eleventh, thirteenth, and nineteenth words. 7. Put an s on the front of the twentieth word and cross off the last letter. 8. Add or to the end of the fifth and ninth word. 9. Add ee to the end of the fifteenth word. 10.

Yes, please! laneke1 https://padlet.com/hurdaj/m9avjte0s3yqhq1n/wish/1897350145 Instead of going over the test or offering old school test corrections, here is another idea to go over that unit or quarterly test that your kids struggled on...

Kids that struggled:
1)Give students blank copy of the test(do not give them their answers or which questions they got incorrect), have them pair up and complete the test again.  The partners must agree on the answers.  Then put those partners together with another set of partners.  The group of 4 must now agree on the answers.  Once they agree, they resubmit and teacher can score or give points back based on those answers.

Kids that did well but missed at least one:
1) Give students blank copy of the test.  Challenge them to work together to figure out the questions they got incorrect.  Give them points back if they figure out which questions they got incorrect.

Try it. Low teacher prep. High student engagement and thinking.]]> 2021-11-17 16:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hurdaj/m9avjte0s3yqhq1n/wish/1897350145 #1 Same But Different floramg https://padlet.com/hurdaj/m9avjte0s3yqhq1n/wish/1897350165 1)Look carefully at the numbers.

Introducing & Exploring Ideas: 
Employ this routine when you want to create interest and teach how power of careful observation can develop insight and form grounded interpretations. Emphasize the use of this routine when students view an image or object, (e.g. chart, graph, artifact) preceding a lesson or unit of study.
  • What do you see?
    • Direct students to silently and carefully observe (2-3 minutes) prior to engaging in talk. 
    • Ask students what they notice or see without any interpretation. 
  • What do you think is going on?
    • Have students interpret what they notice based on close observation. Ask: What is going on?
    • Prod for alternative and additions, guiding students to support responses with reason. Ask: What makes you say that?
  • What does it make you wonder?
    • Invite students to identify additional wondering after carefully observing, thinking about, and synthesizing information. These may be questions initiated by the students that open up new areas of exploration and thinking.

Start by asking children what eye contact is.
2. Why is it important to give eye contact to someone when they are talking to you?
3. What does your attitude display when you are not making eye contact in a conversation?

Use this link to gather ideas to share on why eye contact is important for children to learn and develop.

Use a game like the one listed below to have students practice making eye contact and following someone else's movements.

Pairs mirror

Get children to sit in pairs facing each other. The idea is that one child is going to do different funny faces, movements, or poses. The other child is the ‘mirror’. They are going to copy exactly what the other child does. Silly faces or emotional faces are good or movements like patting your head, rubbing your tummy etc. When one child has had a good go, then the other child can have a try.
