If you need to move...MOVE! Sometimes your brain needs you to get up and move. We keep a wiggle chair in our classroom for just that occasion.]]> 2017-03-12 19:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159520318 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159520450 No idea is a bad one. Some silly ideas can spark a great thought. This year, I have an inclusion class. We have learned to be very understanding of others' thoughts.]]> 2017-03-12 19:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159520450 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159520548 Be understanding and open-minded. Sometimes, outside the box is the best place to be.]]> 2017-03-12 19:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159520548 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159520634 This is the precursor to autonomous learning. If you can understand WHY you don't understand a concept, you're halfway there!! We might use a chart to determine if/why we need to reteach a new topic.]]> 2017-03-12 19:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159520634 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159520838 I might use candy questions or high rewards to see who my risk takers are. I'm looking for students who aren't afraid to put it all on the line to get a 100%]]> 2017-03-12 19:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159520838 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521029 I usually compare and contrast events. For example, how does the sinking of the Lusitania compare to the bombing of Pearl Harbor? Can students see the connection?]]> 2017-03-12 19:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521029 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521122 It's not enough for students to give me an answer. Can they give me evidence to support their answer. Can they tell me why?]]> 2017-03-12 19:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521122 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521298 This is why in the classroom, it's not enough to read a book, or watch a video. We also perform experiments and make observations. Students need to Feel, see, and touch to know what a chemical reaction is. They need to see why they share their parents' genes.]]> 2017-03-12 19:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521298 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521410 We offer creative writing prompts to inspire students' imaginations and to give them a place to begin their own creativity.]]> 2017-03-12 19:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521410 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521571 Students bring their own passion into their learning. Without it, they're merely spitting back what they've been told.]]> 2017-03-12 19:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521571 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521736 I tell my students every day: make sure your answers make sense; if you have no idea where to go with a question, take a risk. Just not an outlandish one.]]> 2017-03-12 19:28:56 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521736 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521926 If education is anything, it should be fun. When we recreated the Lincoln-Douglas debates, we made them slightly silly to be memorable. The McCarthy trials were retold  to be funny, so that kids would remember them. Making something funny can sometimes make it memorable.]]> 2017-03-12 19:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159521926 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159522186 Learning from others is never a bad thing; two heads are usually better than one. In my classroom we accomplish that through group work and paired work. We then come together for a whole-group discussion.]]> 2017-03-12 19:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159522186 anderson_h https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159522334 I think the best way a teacher can do that is by being a good role model. I discuss the ways I am still learning and educating myself. I also talk about problems that stump me and whether I still need help from time to time with individual problems and how I get help solving them.]]> 2017-03-12 19:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/anderson_h/onxaz90x76oi/wish/159522334
