Bivariate Data Day 3

Today was another exciting day in Meagan's class!  Now that students have been introduced to the unit, they began their self-guided/flipped classroom journey.  Meagan showed them how to access, open, and navigate the Numbers file....how to follow the steps on their own and how to check in with the teacher.  Then it was their turn to start!  Class was very quiet today, but this allowed Meagan to move around and check on student note-taking and answer any questions.

*Note:  Some students had a difficult time watching the video because they did not bring their headphones....

Bivariate Data Day 1

So excited to help Meagan and Colleen start today!  They are excited as well.  We have been working on this unit for at least a month and they are finally ready to start.

Today they are giving the pre-test (as a discovery ed probe).   We still have some things to finalize and they are working on getting all of the lessons into eChalk tomorrow.  They already posted the intro activity in eChalk and you can see from the picture below that it has students curious for math class Wednesday!

Getting closer!

Last night Meagan emailed me with the "finalized" versions of the bivariate data unit we have been working on.  She spent most of the day Sunday finalizing things and adjusting things.  Everything is looking good!  I stopped by her classroom today and basically walked through the guided/flipped lesson to see how it went.  All the links work and tings look good.  I made some suggestions on clarifying directions for students and using common vocabulary.  She is going to look at things tonight. The next thing to do is to add more questions to the Think Link probe (the pre-test).  We may have to write some of our own questions for this.  

I am continually impressed with Meagan's knowledge of her content - she is fantastic!

We are both excited to start the unit Friday!

I also spent a little time helping our Literacy Director figure out how to post reading resources for the whole district on eChalk.  His literacy team is doing good things.....it will be great to get them shared district-wide!
