These difficulties can all be traced to working memory mishaps. What is Working Memory? Working memory is a cognitive functioning that enables students to remember and use relevant information to complete an activity. It also enables learners to hold multiple pieces of information in the mind and manipulate them. It is often described as a mental workspace that helps students stay focused, block distractions and stay abreast of their surroundings. How Does a Weak Working Memory Impact Students? Working memory difficulties will impact the following: Reading comprehension Mental math Understanding social interactions Completing homework Planning and preparing for activities Solving multi-step directions Writing essays and reports Following a conversation Test preparation Turning in homework Following and participating in group discussions What are Some Key Symptoms of Working Memory Difficulties? Trouble comprehending a story Difficulties memorizing math facts Problems making and keeping friends Requires many prompts to complete homework Forgets needed materials at home and at school Fails to follow all the directions and work is often incomplete Struggles with organizing ideas before writing and the finished product is often incomplete and messy Makes irrelevant comments and changes the topic of discussion Difficulties maintaining focus Misplaces things like pencils, notebooks, and homework Leaving studying for tests to the last minute How Can Students Improve Working Memory? Providing fun and engaging activities that require attention, mental manipulation, and following directions such as Red Light, Green Light, memory games and treasure hunts can help. However, ready-made activities that develop working memory activities can save preparation time. Come get some FREE SAMPLE ACTIVITIES. I hope you found this post helpful.

I was thrilled to read on the Diva's blog about the "Beads of Courage" organisation for children with a chronic illness. For each special achievement, needle, doctors appointment, xray etc, the child is given a bead. These are collected and put together at a special time, when the events can be recalled for which they were given, and great encouragement given to the child in the process. Laura's son Artoo, belongs to Beads for Courage, and has just turned two. Our design this week is to celebrate his birthday and this wonderful organisation. I had just purchased a set of 12 Prismacolour watercolour pencils so tried them out to colour it. The original looks better than this! The last two nights I have been working on the colour chart I gave in my last post. I just couldn't put it away! Colour seems to do that to me!!. On the first half page I drew a zentangle, then coloured it with each particular colour scheme. When I had finished I thought, "Uh oh, this looks rather complicated. It might put some people off doing the exercise!" So on the other side I made a very simple string to divide up the bars. Another idea is to do simple abstract designs individually across the bars, as I did on the "Tertiary Colour Wheel" sheet for Sunday, 14 October 2012's post. Seeing all the colour together can be rather confusing. Next job therefore is to make a "window" sheet, so you only see one colour scheme at a time, as shown below. Prismacolour pencils were used for this exercise.

As a part of our winter unit, Kindergartners learned a song about a snowman. The students really enjoyed using their imaginations and pretending to build their snowmen while we sang the song: Once they learned the song and practiced several times, they were very excited to add the Boomwhackers! Boomwhackers are colorful plastic tubes that are various lengths and pitches. I tell my students that they are called Boomwhackers because they make a "boom-ing" sound and you "whack" them on things. ツ For this activity, we played them on the carpet. The students took turns playing up the scale while we sang and then down the scale when the snowman melts at the end of the song. It was a great visual for them to see that as the notes got higher, the Boomwhackers were shorter. They did such a great job! Here are a few pictures of them with their instruments: It takes a LOT of self-control for Kindergartners to keep all of their Boomwhackers on the floor! ツ They love to play the "Big Reds." Someone knows how to pose! haha. Silly shot! YAY Boomwhackers!
Over the last few weeks, my kindergartners have been learning about Three-Dimensional shape. Here are some of our favorite stations. Making a Town Using Three-Dimensional Shapes My students LOVED working with a friend and creating a part of the town. At large group time, we brainstormed what we needed to have in our town. Students made little signs and will soon be making maps of the town. We will also learn about creating and giving directions. I hope to have my students create an anchor chart of meaningful words we can use. We will continue to add to this! Guess My Secret Rule (Silent Math) During this lesson, the teacher begins to sort shapes into a pile. It is called Silent Math Time because no one can talk, including the teacher! Students will be called on silently. If a shape belongs it stays in the pile, but if the shape does not belong, the teacher will move it out. When the game is over, the teacher will talk. "Okay class, who can tell me what the secret rule is?" Shape Shadows What kind of shadow will a cylinder make? It was a little tricky to use a flashlight to see the shadows of the figures. But a colleague suggested we put it in the natural sunlight. The kids were amazed!! Guess My Shape One child is IT and takes an object out of the first bag and puts it in the second bag. We started the game with a cylinder, cone, sphere and the cube. The person who is IT gives two clues about the shape. I have a circle face. I have a point. What shape am I? The children playing the game, circle (on the recording sheet below) what shape they think it is. The sheet allows them to play four rounds. We first started playing this game with four shapes and added two more. After playing this game many times, the person who is IT can record their clues. Recording Sheets click here for GUESS MY SHAPE RECORDING SHEET Which Is Taller? Students compared different 3-D objects in the classroom focusing on symbols. Anchor Chart During interactive writing time, we recorded our observations about the three dimension shapes. We made illustrations of real world objects. My 3-D shape book My Vocabulary Chart I saw this chart in Debbie Diller's Math Work Station book and I love it! This chart is a very helpful tool for my students. click here for Vertices sheet Shape Hunt We went on a shape hunt looking for three-dimensional shapes in our environment.

NY ADRESSE - NEW ADDRESS: www.FruBilledkunst.dk Posten er flyttet til her På nettet har jeg fundet en masse spændende inspiration til et op art forløb. Jeg er i gang med at forberede et op art forløb til næste år. Jeg har fundet inspiration flere steder på nettet og har besluttet at sætte det sammen til en lille serie, jeg vil prøve med min 4.klasse. Jeg sender elevbilleder til den tid – her kommer mine egne, som jeg har nydt at lave. Det er altid sjovt, når man finder et hjørne af kunsten, man ikke har undervist i før. Wikipedia skriver: ”Op art (optical art) er abstrakt kunst, der udnytter, at menneskets syn let bedrages af optiske fænomener. Ved at arbejde med sorte og hvide flader eller kontrastfarver får kunstneren kunstværket til at se ud, som om det vibrerer eller flimrer.” Op art opstod i 1960’erne med navne som Bridget Riley, Victor Vasarely, Julian Stanczak og Patrick Hughes, og havde en opblussen i 80érne med navne som Philip Taaffe og Peter Schuyff. Inden vi selv går i gang vil jeg vise børnene nogle værker af disse kunstnere på den interaktive tavle i billedkunst. Hvis man kan bruge en amerikansk powerpoint, er der en her. Bagefter skal vi selv i gang! Det første projekt, skal være et kegle-billede. Det har jeg oprindeligt fundet her. Prøv linket og se nogle flotte elevtegninger. Arbejdsgang: Fastlæg et forsvindingspunkt og tegn 12 linjer fra det til alle kanter (Man kan tegne flere eller færre, men det skal være et lige antal. Tegn "glade" buer, mellem hver anden streg. På eksemplet har jeg valgt to striber (4 buer) på hver kegle, men man kan sagtens vælge flere. Farvelæg striberne i en valgfri farve. Farvelæg med skyggeeffekt, så kanterne er lysere end toppen. Mellem keglerne tegnes "sure" buer - altså nogle, der buer væk fra centrum. Brug samme antal striber som på de første kegler. Farve læg disse kegler i en anden farve med samme skyggeeffekt. På den blog jeg henviser til, har et barn valgt at farve keglerne i hhv. kold og varm rød - et spændende og modigt valg! Understreg gerne effekten ved at lægge lidt lys skygge på de hvide felter. Snak med børnene om effekten: Er det orange-brune kegler på en lilla-blå baggrund, eller lilla-blå kegler på en orange-brun? Øjet svinger hele tiden mellem de to overbevisninger - og det er jo det, op art handler om.
