If you look the boy student lined his up in a straight line. The girl student also lined hers up, but with a rainbow pattern. I chose this picture because it shows that with freedom allowed, the students can do the assignment how they please yet still meet the teacher's requirement. -Kristen Voitle]]> 2020-05-26 16:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595210589 https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595234156 Stds. we able to create whatever they wanted to with the manipulatives they were given.

Project allows students to draw, analyze, color, collaborate, and create meanings they come across in the novel. ]]> 2020-05-26 17:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595263642 https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595284111 In this example, students were allowed to work collaboratively to express their ideas in various different ways. Some used the process of sketchnotes (pictures), some decided to write in bulleted items,  some used complete sentences, some used acronyms etc. It allows for all students to express their creativeness in their own unique way. ]]> 2020-05-26 17:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595284111 https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595286764 The students were put into groups of 3-4 and given a handful of materials.  They had to make a snowman or a Christmas tree with the given materials. The outcomes were amazing. This orange nose was made from one piece of contruction paper and taped to the student's face to make it stay. ]]> 2020-05-26 17:11:23 UTC https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595286764 https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595348061 This is my classroom on the first day of school.  Each group of is given a gummy worm and lifesaver, and each student receives one metal paper clip.  The instructions are to save Fred (the worm) with a lifesaver by just using the paperclip and they can not touch it with their hands.  The students must work together to successfully complete the task.

One activity they enjoy as a quick warm-up or transition activity is the activity where I have different parts of speech written on popsicle sticks. They have to grab at least one from each tub and then their job is to create a story using what they have drawn.

Students are given supplies, such as straws, tape, and popsicle sticks to create a bridge. They have to plan and sketch it first, and then they may get their materials to begin constructing. They learn team building skills and find out quickly that things don't always go as planned! But, I make a big deal about it not being just about how well their bridge works, but more about how well they work together when they encounter a problem.

Students collected recyclable materials and created treehouses with their as part of a pbl. I have also given students free choice on what to make with the materials, just like this student making an airplane. I had many students that were unsure of what to make and had a creater's block but after spending some time just playing around with the pieces created some amazing things.

For this assignment students had to identifying a political/social/environmental issue of their choosing, create an argumentative research question, and present their topic through different genres/mediums. This example was a two-voice poem.

Students could choose from a number of predetermined pages in order to create their poems.

Instead of doing comprehension questions over the characters, students worked in pairs or groups to research the character of their choice from the inside out and the outside in. They found a shoe that represented the character and used symbols, quotes, decorations, and what other characters said about them in the novel. They presented their shoe as if they were introducing the character to the class and also sharing what make their character tick and make the choices they made in the book.]]> 2020-05-26 19:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595582925 https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595589958 This isn't my picture, but it shows students playing a game together. In February I started having students get into groups and make up their own math games.  There was certain criteria, but the rest is up to them.  They really enjoy this! As a bonus, I have a few center games to use in stations throughout the year.  ~Jen Walberg ]]> 2020-05-26 19:49:50 UTC https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595589958 https://padlet.com/msaphos/tnf4npif9tt3m309/wish/595597302 This year I did some STEM activities with 3rd grade.
