Friday- met with each class for 22 minutes; asked them to write their name, birthday, and favorite candy on cutout balloons for my birthday bulletin board; played Hedbanz to promote conversation and questioning; passed out brag bracelets with Remind code, IG account, and a reminder to bring their composition notebook.
Monday- passed out dry erase markers, mechanical pencils, pencil pouch, binders, and rubber bands; did mental math, introduced Google Classroom and Delta Math; students left private comments for me to respond, added duck tape and stickers to our notebooks, labeled our binders, hole punched and put in rubber bands
Tuesday- Tough Guess Tuesday and introduced the bell ringer form for M/T/F; students again responded in private comments, played Kahoot to introduce procedures and such, added dividers and tabs to our binders, put in a ribbon bookmark in our notebooks, colored our first INB page, a Math Tools pocket, and took a Mathematical Smartness survey.
No one else can use this but I'm going to introduce/play Kahoot with classroom procedures....teaches my freshmen and reminds my 'oldies'. Maybe it will spark an idea for you? https://t.co/pgATlNDPYB— Elissa Miller 🦄 (@misscalcul8) August 13, 2018
It looks like your first days are going well. I'm looking at Delta Math as per your suggestion. I'll let you know what I think.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering what your Mathematical Smartness survey is?
It's the inside of the Math Tools Pocket. Link here: https://app.box.com/s/loh1exup73zzgceiqfi7euqp58pj2483 Font is Zengo.
