Students could fill them out before and after the lesson and bring them up and stick them to the board under the right category. I also like to use them before a reading. Students could fill out a sticky note, with a question they have, before reading, during reading, and after they have read.]]> 2016-02-05 22:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/93592774 carrie_pickens https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/93593377 I like having the students play around the world because it is fun for them and they are reviewing material without even thinking about it as schoolwork. You can do this with study guide questions, math facts, showing the time on a clock, vocabulary, etc. With this method you can easily tell, just by watching, who knows the material and who doesn't.]]> 2016-02-05 22:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/93593377 carrie_pickens https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/93593760 Playing jeopardy is a fun way to get the kids in the classroom involved in reviewing or testing their knowledge. This can be played as a whole group to review something recently taught, or small group to get the group involved in friendly competition. It can also be used to individually test the students' knowledge- you can see right off the bat if that student knows the material.]]> 2016-02-05 22:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/93593760 carrie_pickens https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/93595043 These are double sided paddles that have an "T" on one side and then a "F" on the other side. I like this idea for trying to get a quick feel for how the class is doing as a whole. I would hand out the paddles and list ten or so statements and have the class quickly hold up whether or not they think that fact is true or false. From this alone, I can see the classes' thoughts/ answers all at once and make a decision on whether or not the class is with me or needs to review. ]]> 2016-02-05 23:18:01 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/93595043 carrie_pickens https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/93595871 I like this idea because it makes the students list of things that they learned as well as giving examples. They also have the chance to reflect and think of some questions that we not answered during the lesson, or just something that they are still confused on. This could be something that they would have to fill out at the end of every day, maybe as a part of their homework, or at the end of every week to help sum things up. I thought about even doing these Monday mornings, and having the kids reflect and recall what they did that previous week.]]> 2016-02-05 23:41:39 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/93595871 carrie_pickens https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/96200823 I like this idea as a way as i quick informal assessment during the lesson. During a lesson, sometimes the student's faces say it all. It would not be beneficial, in my opinion, to continue a lesson if none of the students are understanding. Asking them so give you a quick thumbs up or thumbs down to give you an idea of where the students stand.]]> 2016-02-19 21:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/96200823 carrie_pickens https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/96201584 For this simple assessment, the students would drop an index card in one of the folders on the board, on their way out of the classroom. Each of the cards would have the student's names across the top along with a sentence or two explaining why they chose the folder they chose. For example, if a student chose Got It, I would expect them to tell me something that they learned from the class- tell me what you know so I know that you Got It. For the folder Almost and Kind Of, I would expect to see what they did understand but also what they were still confused on. And for the folder Nope, I would expect a sentence or two about what they were still confused on or even any questions they had. ]]> 2016-02-19 22:07:09 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/96201584 carrie_pickens https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/96242366 This idea is extremely simple but also very important. Throughout the lessons, I would be walking around and taking little notes here and there on students. There would be a notebook that was set aside only for these little notes. Each page would have the name of a different student across the top. This way every student has their own page of notes. I think the easiest way to do this would be to carry around a sticky note pad everyday so I can write things down as I see them. Then once I have a free second, I would put the sticky notes on that student's page. This would make things easier when I needed quick information on how the student was doing in class. ]]> 2016-02-20 19:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/96242366 carrie_pickens https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/97676993 I love this idea for closing an activity. I would have all the students stand up and pick a quick partner next to them. Then each student has two minutes each to try and summarize everything that they learned that day in class, before the timer goes off. Then once the first student has talked, then the other students has two minutes to comment on what the first person said, and then try to think of something that the first person missed.]]> 2016-02-27 03:05:55 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/97676993 carrie_pickens https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/97705131 For this assessment I would have the students write in their agenda at the end of the day. This could be something that they do when they sit down to write down their homework. I would have the students pick one thing that they learned from that day (or the week depending on how often this assessment is done) and find a way to connect it to something that they do at home. For example, if they learned about estimating that day, the students could say that they would go home and estimate how many shoes are in their mom's closet or how many Legos are in their toy boxes. It's a simple task, but it will make the students think about how they can apply what they learned at school, to their own homes. ]]> 2016-02-27 17:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/carrie_pickens/xs7wfteksa3c/wish/97705131
