in-class thoughts

First, I should have been writing down my ideas earlier, I'll just jot some notes down so I can be sure to remember some ideas for next year:

Math
  • Make word wall for math that is added to each unit. Kids have math journals that they write in regularly using the words and the daily objective with notes from class. This should be used for formative assessment.
  • Find a time for math boxes if using EDM
Lit
  • interactive journals will be used the whole year.
  • We need to have casual reading conferences to make sense out of reading logs or forced reading hw.
Community
  • Point system works well now, but the losing teams need to have meaningful consequences.
  • We need to work on building teams up before they are expected to just work together.
