Ever since one of my students brought in a tomato horn worm, my kiddos have been begging to do "Research" as one of their Daily 5 Choices. I love the idea that they are self-directing their learning and that they are seeking out informational non-fiction text (you know, one of those biggies in the New Common Core Standards). But... (and this is a big But) I am finding that a lot of my kiddos really love watching videos about their topic of choice. I am really ok with this, but these are some of the same kiddos who really need to work on their comprehension and writing skills. Luckily I stumbled across this 3-2-1 Reading Strategy Sheet from Teaching With Love and Laughter! I printed a ton of these off and have placed them next to my computer station for them to complete when they conduct their research. A win win for both teacher and student! I will probably also use this for reading informational text later on in the year as well.

What is Executive Functioning? Executive functioning, or what I like to call the conductor of the brain, is the process of the mind gathering together and making sense of all the information we receive from our instruments or senses. Helping us to create meaning from what we see, hear, touch, taste and experience, executive functioning also allows us to focus our attention, think about new information, and make connections to what we already know. People Have Trouble Understanding Executive Functioning Problems Many teachers and parents have trouble understanding how simple tasks such as remembering appointments, using an agenda or turning in assignments can be difficult, but unfortunately these and other similar tasks can be extremely challenging for some individuals. However, the good news is the part of the brain that manages executive functioning, which is called the frontal lobe, continues to develop through high school and college. Therefore, many kids that struggle with executive functioning can significantly improve their abilities. Come Learn about the Executive Functioning Screener! CLICK HERE You Might have Executive Functioning if: Here are 11 common signs of executive functioning disorder: You have trouble maintaining a planner or agenda for recording assignments. You have trouble planning long term projects and often complete them at the last minute.You often forget papers, notebooks and other materials needed for school or homework. You have a hard time estimating how long a task or project will take. You have trouble starting your homework independently. You are easily distracted. You have a hard time keeping track of your possessions and often lose important materials. You have trouble listening to and following multistep directions. You have trouble transitioning from one task to another. You have trouble keeping appointments. You have trouble keeping your bedroom and book-bag organized. Come Learn about the Executive Functioning Screener! CLICK HERE What are Some Common Myths and Truths? Myth: Kids with executive functioning weaknesses are lazy and unmotivated. Truth: Most of these kids are motivated and hard-working, but they have trouble maintaining attention and stamina. As a result, these students are often misread and misunderstood. It is important to realize that weak executive functioning skills are NOT the result of laziness, lack of effort, or carelessness. In fact, criticizing these learners and providing negative feedback and pressure often worsens these difficulties and can trigger feelings of helplessness. Myth: ADHD and executive functioning issues are the same. Truth: Attention is only one small piece of the executive functioning skills that the brain performs. Therefore, some kids with executive functioning challenges do not have ADHD. Likewise, there are some kids with ADHD that do not struggle with other areas of executive functioning such as planning, time management and organization. What the research is discovering, however, is that there is a positive correlation between those with ADHD and executive functioning disorder.Myth: All kids should be able to learn executive functioning skills.Truth: Just like some kids are blind or paralyzed, other kids have learning disabilities that make executive functioning extremely difficult. In fact, some individuals have such a difficult time with executive functioning skills, they require support from technology and people (such as personal assistants or secretaries) throughout their life. Myth: Kids can't get school accommodations for executive functioning problems. Truth: With proper testing, many of these kids are diagnosed with a learning disability or ADHD. With a diagnosis, students can get an individualized education program (IEP) or 504 plan that can offer reasonable accommodations. What Can be Done to Assist These Capable Learners? 1. Maintain a structured, daily routine. 2. Teach them how to set priorities. 3. Generate a consistent homework plan. 4. Break large assignments into manageable tasks. 5. Make to-do lists. 6. Demonstrate time management skills by generating self imposed deadlines. 7. Teach study skills and test taking strategies. 8. Provide incentives and positive reinforcement. 9. Utilize graphic organizers for planning ideas and writing. 10. Teach metacognitive skills by thinking through thought processes aloud. 11. Be patient and supportive.
