https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias This is a forum for the STEMLC ROCKSTARS to share all of the wonderful lessons, ideas, and activities you are doing in your classroom. At minimum, please post one artifact after every PD training throughout the year. (or more, of course!) A description and sample of artifacts can be found below. Let me know if you need anything whatsoever! I am here for YOU. Coach: Kristina Spencer Contact: kspencer.depd@gmail.com or 850-287-5496 en-us 2016-10-13 16:21:57 UTC 2023-01-25 02:31:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Brightnessdown.png kristinaspencer https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/130505781

Artifacts: Please provide at least 1 artifact after each of the PD training sessions over the course of the year--more is even better!

Include the context and explanation of each artifact.

Our science unit is on how the Earth changes. The kids rotated through the different stations during science time. ]]> 2016-11-08 15:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/136114483 eerwin2 https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/138269654 2016-11-16 22:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/138269654 eerwin2 https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/138269937 https://app.discoveryeducation.com/builders/boards/assetGuid/1B0E0914-B29F-6FEB-06D3-BB1240393C6C

They worked together in groups to come up with what made the type they picked the most severe.
We also used A-E-I-O-U to have them engage with a video about a STEM career- Storm Chasers.

Students had to define the words, but they could watch the videos, look at images, watch the animation, ect. My ELL students liked that they could watch things in Spanish also!

The students worked on different engagement techniques that all envolved social media during the stations. The students used the following board to navigate the different stations. ]]> 2016-11-17 14:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/138399569 https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/138400014 In my room we talked about weather. We went outside and recorded the weather we saw and felt. When we got back inside, we talked about the discrepancy between all of our personal recordings/data. We then watched a video of a meteorologist and all that their job entails. My students then used the AEIOU strategy to reflect on the video using padlet. ]]> 2016-11-17 14:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/138400014 https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/148355981 We have been talking about landforms, land changes, and erosion.  The class has a board that they have been using to research and do stations about erosion and weathering.]]> 2017-01-20 14:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/148355981 https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/148356085 2017-01-20 14:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/148356085 https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/157316664 The University of Arkansas's Enactus group has volunteered their time to help run an S.O.S. group in my classroom this spring. Ellen and I have worked with them to plan a meaningful curriculum centered on entrepreneurship and starting your own business. We began by introducing goods and services. We engaged students in activities where they had to investigate different goods and services and how those apply to their lives, our world, and the role they play in running a business. We took students out into the field behind our school following our lesson, and had them run back and forth between the "goods" side, and the "services" side when given a question about a product or service. Them students' participation required communication, and the UofA students' creation and implementation of the lesson required creativity. It was so fun and engaging for teachers, and big and little students! Pictures to come :) ]]> 2017-03-02 13:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/157316664 https://padlet.com/kristinaspencer/mathias/wish/157317911 We have been using more technology in our classrooms.

I conference with each student about a goal they need to work on in relation to grade level standards. Students have been working on these goal using different classroom and digital tools. They are starting to document how they are in relation to their goal and utilizing reflection.

They are creating a script and then working on creating a video.
