Schedule+of+Events+for+Friday

Have an idea...what if we broke apart a math process (converting decimals to fractions or solving an equation) and wrote each step on a different card. That could be an assessment of a process. As a math teacher you could tell if they understand it or not. What do you think?

Looks great. Good job!

General comment: I like the ideas. for organization, I would like a brainstorm(brain dump) at the beginning with the organizer. maybe not even mentioning that these are the ell standards. as we progress through the day they can add to the boxes and see where activities fit. then at the end we can focus on the fact that these ideas they have been writing about are really the standards and look at how much they already have to work with.... oooh another though...I was unaware that this was a avid school, do we want to talk about the use of interactive notebooks in a math classroom? I could try and pull examples if I have any left? (writing piece)

I say bring on the interactive notebook. I'm not sure if they have heard of it, but i think it would be fab. i am making a composition notebook with foldables from the first sections of the geometry book.

As far as the brainstorming session with the ell standard graphic organizer, where exactly would you like for it to fit? See below as I might have found a spot, but let me know if I am missing the point.

Before session - music playing, pictures and sayings running on screen (I will have all of this stuff) Michelle gets to pump- Yea!!!

Participants will come in, sign in (maybe) and fill out a name tag.

Participants will sit at one of the groups with a think pad in front of it (I will bring.).

We say hello as they walk in - greet them. Give each participant a handout.

1. Introductions (someone from the district will do this)

2. TakeOff TouchDown - Will ask questions. If the answer is yes for them, they stand. If the answer is no, they remain sitting. Ask another question - if the answer is yes for them, they remain standing. If the answer is no, they sit or remain sitting. Ask some hard math questions.

A. Intro. the chart where they can write down ideas for implementation into their class. Then talk specifically about how they can use this strategy in their classrooms.

3. Explanation of parking lot.

4. Goals for session

A. Talk to them about the info. we learned from the survey's and how we will work to incorporate their questions/concerns into the presentation.

5. What is sheltered instruction?

A. Quick explanation

6. Affective filter

A. Building Relationships 1. Team building 2. Name game

B. Remember - you don't know the legal status of your students. For those that moved from another country - they may not understand why they have been moved here and may be angry at their parents. They can't show anger to their parents. They show anger to teachers. 1. Tolerance of others who are different.

C. Cultural Diversity Profile. From CAL. They might have already had this, but it points out the differences in core values between the U.S. and the rest of the world.

7. Processing Time - stand up, hand up, pair up...

A. Find a partner and talk about....one thing you have learned, one question you have, one idea you had to bring into your classroom. B. Play music while they move C. After structure - how they can use it in their classroom. Give them a minute to add that to their notes page.

8. 9 Square - As an intro. to Vocabulary (I have really hard math examples)

A. Have them put a 9 square puzzle together with a partner.

BREAK

9. Vocabulary

A. Debrief 9 square looking for applications in their classes.

B. Importance

C. Strategies - card sort

D. Foldables

E. Word Walls

10. Math - it is not a universal language It isn't? I thouhgt it was there are some videos on youtube of cultural math differences if you want to add a video of two at this point and look on my delicious to find the site that helps you download youtube videos if you don't already

A. Look at CAL examples of math

LUNCH!!!!!!!!! Michelle gets to pump- Yea!!!  Brainstorm using the ELL standard graphic. What if we put it here before we move into that section?

11. Reading & Math not sure where but I think we should have them analyze a word problem for academic/content vocabulary and discuss this

A. word problems 1. making them visual 2. Text (not sure what this means) 3. Fiction (not sure what this means)

12. Writing & Math

A. Interactive notebooks?? 1. Laura show examples and talk about purpose and how it fits with AVID 2. Reflections

B. Brain Dumps (pre-assessing)

C. Writing how to solve problems (the process that they went through to solve a problem??)

D. Graphic organizers

E. Problems in words / algebraically (not sure what this part means) think she means writing the math problem as a word sentence

F. Writing to answer word problems.

13. Speaking & Math

A. Math game (activity with the cards where one leads to another) I'm bringing this

B. Sage -N- Scribe activity (I think this will work with the Speaking like a mathematician)

C. Explanations (not really sure what this is)

14. Listening & Math

A. Explanations

BREAK!!!!!!!!!!

15. Lesson modification

16. presentation of lesson modification

17. Reflection on next steps

18. Burning questions or things from parking lot

19. Evaluation of class

Have a great rest of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!
