Information graphics (or **infographics**) are used to display information in ways that are more creative than plain old text. These days, they surround us in the media, published works, road signs and manuals. Lately, the Internet has been flooded with infographics on various topics, ranging from science and technology to society and culture. In this article, we'll look at the process of designing an infographic about programming.

Let's talk about Human Agency. Human agency is the ability for a human to make choices and then act on them in the world around them. They can choose their plan and make it come to life. Sounds good right? All human's thrive on choice. Kids especially. So, how can we use human agency in Kindergarten? Have you done choice time? Or choice boards? Have you given your child a choice between foods, clothes, or toys? This is human agency. While kids thrive on routine, they also need choice. When we think of human agency in the Kindergarten classroom, we are using their interests, respecting their ideas, and showing them that we care about them all at the same time. We can use human agency in school ALL DAY LONG. Yes, we will need to have assessments, yes we will need to do things we don't want to do. But, if we give kids the power to choose how they are going to participate in school, we are giving them a gift. Because we are living a crazy life right now, we can use agency to help students take control over their own learning. They can believe they are in charge and that you are there as a facilitator. As I have always said, and I was very glad to hear Kristi Mraz agree, you can put academics into just about anything. If we give children a choice on what to play, we can work through that to 1) get to know the child, 2) utilize their strengths, and 3) teach them how to be thinkers and doers. I had a boy in my class in 2017 that was 100% hands-on. He was painfully shy and easily overwhelmed. But, when you gave him blocks he came alive. He would build and tell stories. I gave him a paper counting test and he ended up in tears. I gave him a bunch of plastic bears and he did amazing. This is the point where we can take what he CAN do and teach him that he can do more. We can show him how to do things on paper, and when he is ready he will choose to do it. Ok, ok, I know some of you are like, "You can't just do what you want!" I agree, trust me. There are a lot of times where you just have to fall in line. But, what if in Kindergarten, we taught them to believe that their ideas matter? That they can speak up with their thoughts and feelings? What if we instilled in them the ability to choose the right thing? How? Well, it starts in play. Children will play with what they are interested in. The dollhouse is thought of as a "girl" toy. Yet, boys will play with it. The cars are considered a "boy" toy. But, I had a very elaborate car collection when I was a child. Why not just watch and see what they choose? You will be surprised at what happens, and then you can choose what to do with it. We all hear about Inquiry. It is defined as "the act of asking for information". Once you see what they are interested in, you can start to teach around it. Kinders love life! They are curious about everything! And each day is different. Pumpkins, friends, buildings, bugs, marbles, water, it is all there. What we need to flip is us telling them what they are going to learn and begin using what they like to start a conversation. My launch of K will contain very small groups, which I explained yesterday. I will look at interests and group accordingly. This will build community, love of school, and enhance their curious nature. Take a look at this infographic. These are all of the things we want our students to do. We have to give them the OPPORTUNITIES to learn how. .
10 tech inventions that should really exist by this point
Oh summer....you are far too wonderful! I have been enjoying my days playing with markers, colored pencils, and posters. Posters, posters, posters... This 150 hours of classroom work thing has been rather successful so far (80 hours down) as I prepare charts, decorations, and documents for myself and my coworkers. My circle cutter and I did some bonding way back in June, and I finally got those circles adhered to their respective posters. As promised: CHAMPS Posters! I've mentioned it before, but we use CHAMPS for our classroom management program. Throughout the activities of the day, we make sure to explain our expectations for (C)onversation, (H)elp, (A)ctivity, (M)ovement, (P)articipation, and (S)uccess. These expectations are displayed on the board for students to reference when they need a reminder. This summer's CHAMPS party consisted of creating these charts for our whole third-grade team. (dibs on orange!) One of my teammates came up with this great format last year, and we really wanted to keep our expectations the same across the grade level while we also use the Walk to Learn model this year. Her format is particularly wonderful because it prominently displays all of the expectations, and each one can be mixed and matched by moving clothespins around in their respective areas. Additionally, I've been avoiding the focus wall chore and drawing up some posters that I found on Pinterest. All that art training I have under my belt has helped me to make some very accurate recreations! We do a huge focus on writing in third, so I really wanted to have a cute chart up! Way back during the school year, I posted here about our whole school learning about metacognition. One of those strategies involves using paint chips to help students classify how they are feeling about certain assignments. By marking the darker color on the chip, students show that they are not feeling 100% (in the "dark"); marking the lighter color, students show that they are confident in themselves ("it's all clear!"). Yes, these can be flipped around and used in whatever color gradation you wish...but the point is, I want to implement this strategy with the previous poster so that the kiddos can explain how they are feeling throughout the many different concepts of the day. There are several more academic ones sitting on my desk, but I risk being too picture-heavy this time around....plus, I just wanted to toss in the birthday sign for my friend's baby...because that was fun to play with :) Soon to come: Exploration of the interactive notebook...and more posters...possibly another focus wall...!
