When I teach science I like to have some stations set up for students to rotate through. I find this gives me the chance to meet with small groups to go over concepts and I also find my students easier to manage when they are working in small groups. I usually make one of my […]

Voici ma synthèse sur le squelette à construire dans le cahier interactif. Les sortes d'os peuvent être expliquées grâce aux volets. J'ai choisi de créer une pochette pour ranger les étiquettes"os" à replacer sur le schéma, de façon à rendre l'étude ludique et interactive, mais pour éviter les pertes, elles peuvent aussi être collées. Je laisse mes élèves faire leur propre choix. Certains ont créé de véritables pochettes anti-perte! :) Squelette - Cahier interactif Enfin, la synthèse sur les muscles. Elle permet de différencier la flexion et l'extension et de replacer les noms des muscles sur le schéma. Les élèves ont, cette fois-ci, créé eux-mêmes les étiquettes ou légendé le schéma, à leur convenance. Muscles - Cahier interactif

Hello darlings! Amy here from That Teaching Spark! If you are like me, you use some semblance of technology in your classroom. You might be 1:1 with each student having a device or you may have access to a few devices for your entire class! I'm lucky enough to have a class set of chrome carts to share with my grade level of five teachers. We rotate the chrome books around to each other. I also have four devices that I use for math rotations every day! I have to admit, I would be lost without them! There are so many amazing websites and resources out there! I asked all of you in the All About 3rd Grade Facebook Group, to share the websites you use on a daily basis. I have reviews those websites and have included the ones most often recommended in this All About 3rd Grade Symbaloo. A Symbaloo is simply a bookmarking site. You can copy and paste this link on your classroom website, Google Classroom, or other learning platform for your students. Then students can click the icon to take them to the recommended page. https://www.symbaloo.com/mix/allabout3rdgrade Most websites that I included are free or at least allow for a free version with less bells and whistles. Here are 3 of My Favs 1. Epic Epic is perfect for sharing books on your projector. It has over hundreds of popular books! They have some books read aloud but I really like it for the nonfiction and collections that it offers. You can even create quizzes for your students. Watch this video for a little overview. 2. Prodigy Play Math Prep My kiddos use Prodigy everyday in math rotations. I can assign them any standard I want and it will create questions for them. This is what students see. They create little avatar wizards and then battle through lands that they unlock. They even earn pets that can have powers! They unlock and earn power ups by answering question correctly. You can assign the skills or have the game do it for you! In this video, I explain how to assign test prep, but it is the same directions for other assignments. 3. Go Formative This is a new website for me! I am super excited to try it next year! create online assessments, classwork or homework connects seamlessly with Google Classroom ANY GRADE, ANY SUBJECT, ANY DEVICE create a class & track student data students can type, draw or upload images get LIVE results & give instant feedback to your students very easy to use FREE & PAPERLESS for both teachers and students Check out the video for a sneak peek on how it works! Join us in the All About 3rd Grade Facebook Group to learn more amazing tips like this!

Back to school: Setting up your classroom digitally with Google Classroom™
It's time once again for Pick 3: This Month's Top Pinterest Picks! My first pin is from Two Tangled Teachers... (Click on pic to go to original pin) They did this great display with word work and learning about prefixes and suffixes, but I thought it would be a great project for the end of the year. The kids could write their goals and dreams for the future or for next year on the balloons. My second pin is from Hello Literacy... (Click on pic to go to original pin) It is definitely the time of year that voices and noise levels in the classroom can get on your last nerve! This app looks like a fun way to get a handle on it. I will be trying it out after spring break! My last pin is from Corkboard Connections... (Click on pic to go to original pin) This is another thing on my list of "Technology to Try".

Padlet is one of my "go to" applications for beginning or end of class activities. Since it is device agnostic, it is perfect for a BYOD classroom. In situations where tech is not 1:1, which is my usual day, I have students use the BYOD as small groups. To make things easier to incorporate Padlet, I've created templates for Padlets. Now when I want students to work on a KWL, Venn Diagram, or similar graphic organizer I have them already set up and ready to go. I just make a copy of the original for my class and share out with QR code or shortened URL (I prefer Bit.ly solely because I love having a puffer fish up on my task bar!) How to create Padlet Templates to Facilitate Do Now. Closure Activities: Step 1: Create Template I use PowerPoint because I like the SmartArt Feature, but you can use anything that will save as a JPEG. Step 2: Save as a JPEG Step 3: Create a Padlet. Click on the clog in the upper right hand corner to modify. Scroll down to Wallpaper and select "MORE" Step 4: Select your JPEG by clicking on "ADD YOUR OWN", "UPLOAD", and then either drop your image in or "CHOOSE FILE" and confirm. Step 5: After saving changes you should be able to see if you need to adjust your original image to fit the screen how you want. Repeat steps 1-4 until you have the desired look. Then each time you want to use the chart, Venn Diagram, or similar template, just make a copy and rename with the specifics of the lesson. For example, KWL's copy becomes "KWL - Holocaust".
