https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59 Please put your idea in the title and a brief description as to how it would benefit classrooms/students. en-us 2017-04-12 18:24:04 UTC 2026-02-14 05:16:33 UTC hello@padlet.com gfairchild https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166146386 Teachers could use a sound system for many purposes:
~Strategically place students who have difficult paying attention near it.
~Use when students are reading aloud.
~For use to save your voice.

I feel it greatly helps students to focus better on what is going on. 

I also feel that it helps my voice and especially when I have a sore throat or a cold, this system is so helpful. 

Students also enjoy reading aloud as they want to use the system to read to their classmates!]]> 2017-04-12 18:51:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166151624 https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166162598

Benefits...minimize spread of germs, less water on the floor, less drink breaks...]]> 2017-04-12 20:03:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166162598 https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166164737
Interactive activities painted on the blacktop.
This website has lots of ideas:

Helps kids engage in interactive and group activities during recess.  

Provide structured leisure activities for outside play and/or team building for classes outside. ]]> 2017-04-12 20:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166164737 https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166165208
I also would love to see sensory buckets for outside. (sand bucket, water play, --with lids-- etc...) with tools / measuring cups, etc...

Several teachers in the building have tried the free version of FrontRow and seen the benefits in their classroom. 
- ELA: you can assign whole class articles on grade level, or pick an article to assign to each student at their reading level (determined by a placement tests and ongoing benchmarking). Each ELA article has an attached writing task you can also assign as well as a set of comprehension questions very similar to the higher level types of questions seen on PARCC.
- MATH: students can work independently on math skills for fact practice at their level, or be assigned a specific adaptive practice domain or a certain Common Core Standard. 
-Plus, it gives teachers great reports on student achievement ]]> 2017-04-13 01:22:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166185399 https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166243533 www.msyteryscience.com     This website provides easy to follow, engaging science lessons that promote inquiry and exploration in the science classroom.  Several teachers have used this website this year and have loved using it.    Though we are unsure exactly how our science will look next year, the resources on the website all align with ngss.
Classrooms and students would benefit from the engaging lessons.]]> 2017-04-13 13:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166243533 https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166266718 We could use some of the funding to help coordinate opportunities for teachers to observe another teacher in the building or out of the building in another school. Teachers could then meet another time to talk about it. Some ideas of things to observe include: use of 1-on-1 and/ or canvas at other schools, "innovative"/ student-centered practices, grade level teams collaborating in one particular area (i.e. daily 5 or math workshop), science inquiry, or simply classroom management for bist. ]]> 2017-04-13 15:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gfairchild/sf8hk6nnel59/wish/166266718
