This week I have been visiting third grade classrooms to do lessons on strategies for success on the SOLs. Third grade students will be taking the SOLs for the first time starting May 13th. Some of them shared that they are feeling scared, nervous, worried, excited, etc. The goal of this lesson is to build their confidence and give them strategies to help them do their best. The lesson is titled "You're In Control". We started by watching this video: Next, we moved on to identifying strategies that can help students be successful on the tests. There are many things students can do before, and the day of the test to help them do their best. We talked about being in control of our success. We used the buttons on a remote control as examples for things we can do to stay in control. As a class we came up with lots of ideas and then students picked their top 10 for their remote control. Here is an example of what your student might be bringing home: Here is a list of some strategies the classes came up with: Prepare and study-use your resources Take your time, you have as long as you need Relax and take deep breaths Flag questions you want to go back and review Reread Get enough sleep Eat a good breakfast Take breaks: water, walking, bathroom Circle key words Wear comfortable clothes and dress for success Cross out wrong answers Use your tools remove distractions BE CONFIDENT!

During the last two days of walks (hikes?) we have kept little things here and there in an attempt to make some fun prints. I recall the first time I used this type of paper. It was at a three day camp called Mill Hallow. It is so fun to watch the paper go from blue to white to and then reverse itself. Clara wasn't interested in composing anything or waiting outside with it but she did enjoy rinsing it watching it change in the water.

Der Wind. Welch eine Wohltat für Körper und Seele er doch in diesen letzten, heißen Wochen war. Wie nervig er doch sein kann, wenn er uns durchs offene Fenster bei einer Autofahrt entgegen bläst und die langen Haare im Schokoeis kleben bleiben. Und wie spannend es doch sein kann, ihn selbst zu erzeugen. Durch Bewegungen und durch unsere Atmung. Forschen mit Wind Gestern Abend beobachtete ich meine Tochter dabei, wie sie im Spiel mit Oma alle kleinen Papierstückchen, die sie erst so mühsam aus der großen Zeitung gerissen und dann ganz klein zusammengewuzelt hatte, mit einem starken Ausatmen quer über

Higher level questioning is on everyone's minds these days. I knew I wanted to create something for Blooms, but just couldn't decide on how I wanted it to look in my classroom. It's always been something I just do without even thinking. I always gear my questioning toward higher level thinking, but don't necessarily tell my students where each question ranks on the Bloom's Hierarchy. I've come up with a little something to incorporate more of the Bloom's language and questioning in my day to day classroom discussions. We always have a read aloud for the week, whether it's from our reading adoption (Reading Street) or a trade book. My plan is to use this form to teach the levels of Bloom's Taxonomy and then have them answer questions about the story at the different levels of Blooms. My analogy will be when the shirt is fully buttoned, then you are fully dressed and ready to go. And when you are able to answer all the button level questions, then you have a full or complete understanding of the story. My plan is to have button breaks, where a student will randomly choose a colored button from a can. The color they choose will correspond to a Bloom's Button Card which contains a question that corresponds to a particular level of Bloom's Taxonomy. Some times I may have them answer the question independently, they could do this either orally or in a journal. Other times they may try to answer the question with a buddy or a group. The goal is to get them thinking about the story as well as their own thinking!!! These are the buttons that I'm using in my jar. Nice and big. Notice that the orange buttons are missing in the middle picture above. Well, we had an uh oh, this evening. My toddler decided to stick the orange buttons inside the skinny opening of my very expensive laminator. Yikes, it was not fun finding a solution for that one!!! Here is an example of a few of the cards. There are 9 questions for each of the 6 levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. There are also blank (editable) cards provided for you to add your own questions as you see fit. There is also a black line master available of the Button Chart, if you would like to have your students color it in and then place it in a journal/notebook to refer to throughout the year. You can click the picture below to head on over to my teacher store. Hope my students and possibly yours love their button breaks!!!
