Wow, another great week. First Saturday was spent with my MERIT team. Awesome as always. I learned new material which I have already shared with my students. Tuesday night I spent with the Google apps group and learned how to enter my blog on my website. I also posted pictures on Picassa and make a book and posted it on my webpage. It shows our Intel field trip.
Students still love doing the presentations for Language Arts vocabulary but this week I added Math. Four out of the 16 students never finished but overall they enjoyed doing it. Math is a subject they would rather avoid but by Friday we were able to review the final product and start learning the new word. I have homework for the weekend of cleaning up their presentation, and creating some worksheets for home work. I might like to do this each week and perhaps link it to the subject we are studying. I am learning too.
I had trouble showing CNN student news a few times. Our IT department said it was them. I think my computer was acting up. But I had a video on the dark ages to show so I was saved. I show videos for about 15 minutes to connect to the chapter we are studying. My students did not really know what a knight was. The videos helped. I hope to show the start of Robin Hood on Monday so they can see what the crusades were really about. I shared this was the begining of when cultures became mixed up. They like that visual.
I still need help scanning to each students file. I am scanning student work and saving it by the title. I need to turn in my receipts for that grant. I like my external drive. I still have not labeled my studen't flash drives. I applyed for the Horace Mann scholarship to finish up my level 2 classwork.
I will try to apply for the $1000 cue grant, the next Teacher Innovation grant for March 1 which needs to be in the area of Math or Science. I am still waiting to hear on the MERIT grant...
I want to set up a Google form for referals in my classroom. Next week my principal is review my math class on Wednesday morning. Does anyone have a great lesson plan to share? I am thinking of doing proportion or mean, median, mode. Now I just need to grade my KidsBlogs, Tween News Articles, Google forms...Oh and of course one more IEP..
