Five Great Things for 11/10/15

Today I noted five great things that happened in my classroom. Here are are:


  • 100% of the students got out their agendas upon arrival to school prior to our morning meeting.
  • Students for Math entered the room and began reviewing the previous video/notes while I checked homework and greeting students. We were able to start math promptly ten minutes after students entered the room. 
  • Most groups in math were able to correctly identify the rules for products while multiplying integers. Two positive factors is a positive product, one positive and one negative factor is a negative product, and two negative factors is a positive product. 
  • Almost the entire class completed notes on interactive maps about the Fertile Crescent and Ancient Egypt. They used a new strategy where they generate prior knowledge or predictions in one column then add what they learn in a second column. Students then crossed out, checked, or placed question marks by their prior knowledge to indicate if it was confirmed, a misconception, or still not sure. 
  • During our Daily 5 work time two reading groups successfully met with me. 
Woohoo! Great work today!
