We are still working on Small Moment Stories. We talk about transition words daily as they come up in both our reading and writing. We talk about how transition words connect our thoughts and make our writing sound smoother and better. My students LOVE songs! We have songs for just about everything. If there isn't a song, then we make one up. This is our transition word song and the list of transition words that my students keep in their Writing Folders.

These journaling benefits show how writing improves your mental and physical health. Here's why it's so powerful - and how to get started.
This past week in class we started my FAVORITE type of math to teach! ALGEBRA!! I'm not sure what I love so much about it, but I just think that the possibilities are ENDLESS with the fun things that you can do with it! I remember when I was in school and was in Algebra-it was book/paper activities ALL. THE. TIME. However, I plan to do some out of the box things this 9 weeks with my Expressions and Equations 6th Grade CCSS. :) So, here is a peek at what I did this past week in class to introduce Expressions and Equations. First, we took some note in our Interactive Notebooks on the difference between Expressions and Equations, vocabulary, the Distributive Property (with Algebra), and did some stick and solves (with post-its). It was hard for the students to grasp the distributive property a little with algebra since we learned about it a little with Number Systems, but with numbers not variables. They got stuck for awhile thinking that you could SOLVE these expressions with a number, so we spent a LOT of time talking about the difference between an expression and an equation. We then got into like terms and combining them. This sparked my higher students to go crazy with this, and all week during enrichment, I spent giving CHALLENGES with maybe 7 terms that had to be distributed to, powers and mixed variables! Even though we got into some CRAZY variables, powers, and combining (7th or 8th grade stuff), they had a BLAST! It really challenged them to understand the process-so I think that it really pushed my higher students! Not to mention they were having FUN---and who wants to stop that? :) We did an Algebraic Expression Mix and Mingle, too. I did it on note cards for now, unless anyone expresses an interest for me to put all of my Mix and Mingle games on Teachers Pay Teachers, then I will make them cute and fancy. :) Just send me a message or comment, First, I made expressions that the students needed to solve using the distributive property: I then also made cards in blue ink that had the answers written on them. The students paired up and were each given a question card and a random, answer card. The pairs of students then worked out the question on their card: Once everyone had worked out their questions, they mingled with each other to try to find the group with their answer card. They had a lot of fun--plus it included an aspect that ALL middle school students LOVE to do---MINGLE! :) The last thing that we got to this past week was translating words into algebraic expressions. Ugh. I was dreading this one because even when I taught math at the community college they struggled with this one. We started with some Pinspired notes in our interactive notebooks: Then we did some practice whole class. That is about as far as we got this week. We did a Mix and Mingle activity with this too. Everyone got a card-some were the words and some were the expressions, and they had to match up the correct words to expression. :) We only have two and a half days this next week of school, and I am planning to have them work on our Thanksgiving Math Centers as a review (shameless plug-they're on sale the rest of today!!!). :) Plus, I have math planning on Monday, so I won't be in the classroom. Have a great week everyone! :)

I recently got an email from a teacher who used interactive notebooks, but wanted to get better at using them, and had some questions for me. I thought I would post some of the highlights from our discussion here, in case others are wondering the same thing. How do you do vocabulary in them? How do you organize a unit? I focus on vocabulary in INB's in two ways. First, at the start of each unit my students make a cover page. In traditional INB fashion, this cover page has a left and right hand page (input and output). On the student output side, I have them divide the page into four. In the center of the four squares I have them write the title of the unit. Then in each of the four boxes I give them a key vocabulary word for the unit. Then I have them use the textbook, look online, or based on their own knowledge, draw a picture that goes with each vocabulary term, and write a caption. This gets them connecting to what they already know, and previewing the topics. On the teacher input side I give them a sheet that has the learning objectives of that unit, and the key vocabulary for the unit. This gives the students a reference point, as well a view of where they are going during this unit. Then at the end of the unit I have them write a reflection that has to include main points they have learned in the unit, and a reflection on their work. In their reflection, they have to use a certain number of the key vocabulary terms. They also have to revisit their work and discuss, what pages did they do the best on? What could they have improved upon? Etc. I find that these two experiences really help them to focus on the main concepts of the unit, and tie together what they are learning.
