Bruce in classes Wednesday

Practice independent work ideas-




Instructional group-
Warm up- 5 and problems. Then some oddballs. Children got confused so she got them to show her 4 on their fingers and 2 more. Then they could solve it.

Using money- I have 2 tens and 3 ones. Write down my number. Used abacus to show 2 tens and 3 ones.

I have $23 and Mr Moody said I could have $20 more. Reinforced the ones didn't change.
$10 more, how much did I have there? How much now?

Okay I have $63 and I give Whaea Kat $30 What will I have now?
If I have 6 and take three away, what will it be? I had $60 and I give $30 away, how much do I have left?
Next step- change the ones in there to check they can change the ones and are looking at the numbers. Get them fluent in the bonds to ten. Spend more time on bonds. If they have that secure they can use them as addition but not as reversals.

$63+$30=

Second group-
Using biscuit factory story- I work in the biscuit factory and I get paid per biscuit.
Tens frame- with 8 showing

I put my hand in the oven and make 5 biscuits. I fill up the 8 with 2, how many will I have left over?
8+2, +3 =15,
28 + 5 = 33
48 + 5 = 53 . modelled less
Pulled out 5 packets (of ten) I've got 5 in my hand, Fill up the packet with 2 and how many do I have left? 3, so it's 63
Show the pattern. I think I can write the next one down and you can write it on your board. Don't copy the question, write what you think it'll be.
Moved on to 100's. I have 138+5= .   Students to write their answer on their board.


Then changed the one to 7. I put my hand in the oven and I could hold 7 out of the oven with one go. How many will I put down to fill the packet up? And how many left over? So I had 8 how many did I need to put down? 2? That's right. So if there's 10 down there and 5 in my hand how many do I have altogether? What number do we call ten and 5? 15
8+7= 15 
Now I have 38 and 7= How many biscuits go down, how many in my hand? How many altogether? 
38, make it 40 and 5= 45. What goes with 8? 2 yes they are really good friends, they are always together. Noticing the pattern. Repeat and keep modeling the process but allowing the ones who are responding by pattern can still respond. 

Using equipment but weaning them off the equipment- support the thinking not be the thinking. Eg Notes stacked so they can't see them to count.

Reviewing, editing and celebrating writing.

-Sheena Cameron and Louise Dempsey Two stars and a wish, stamp for wow word, stamp for cool sentence. I am learning what I am learning and  why.  Highlight in reading, lists of different sentence starters.  I can find examples in my writing. I can improve my writing. I can talk about my success and next steps. I write carefully as I go. Write a bit, read, fix up as you go. Self-check my writing and fix up some mistakes.  Let kids fix up some (4) then move on. I feel like an author and want to share my writing.   Too focused on quantity not planning and editing. Do I make it manageable? Do I value that part of the lesson? Feel like they share something from their writing with someone most days. A buddy, buddy class, at home, on the blog.  Responding model on p197. From the influence of Gail Loane, everyone is an author. Two stars and a wish- first, respond to the message, then criteria. We write to communicate an idea. 1. Message 2. Positives ...

Letting the learner lead

At GAFE this year they talked about asking the students to think of a problem and come up with a solution. I have been pondering how this can look in my classroom. I thought about a whole class slot of time to allow them to work on a project, then I thought about giving them the problem, and I also thought about how it could work with what things are already happening in the class. At the end of it I could see that modelling the process means that when a problem arises naturally for the students in my class they will know the process to solve it. So I have let them follow ideas they have as much as I can, fitting it into our class program and allowing them to work on projects as they arise. For example Morris is wanting to raise awareness about the weeds on the nature trail so I am supporting him to do this by allowing him time to write a message and to put the weed busters website on QR codes and stick them on the path for others to access. Another example is below. This is a...

Clarity in the classroom

Clarity in the Classroom Author: Michael Absolum Workshop from Toni Making learning intentions clear for the students. Knowing where students are to pitch their learning criteria. Example writing lesson: Played video from literacy shed- Showed clip reminding of that they had been looking at retells. Talk about the video with class, wrote down key feelings as the SC was to add detail.... Teacher to write plan, then students don't need to write the plan. Gave a sheet with thoughts and feelings on for them to add in their books. Show models of how to write it. Send away able writer's reminding of the SC. 2 or 3 examples of adding feelings, challenge is to write why they are feeling a certain way. eg He was sad and asked.... Feedback just focussed on the SC of adding details through feelings. Reminder of the SC. Clarity about what is to be learnt handout and checking where we are as a teacher on the rubric.
