📢 ELEMENTARY TEACHERS: Celebrate Black History 📢 ELEMENTARY TEACHERS:

Celebrate Black History Month in the Science Classroom with this no-prep, research banner activity.

Have your students research the life and achievements of 8 influential, black scientists and showcase their findings on the paper banners or as a Google Drive presentation.

I have included both a 📄 print AND 👩🏼‍💻 digital version of this activity, making it perfect for distance learning or face-to-face instruction.

Blood evidence is the topic for the next few weeks. I will be sharing my curriculum map and some of the activities that I do with my forensics students to teach BlOOD EVIDENCE. I will share to my highlights in the Forensics tab. 😀
Its that time of year- progress checkpoints! Benc Its that time of year- progress checkpoints!

Benchmark exams (or progress checkpoints) are KEY for any grade level or content area. It’s so important to measure growth throughout the year!

I give a quick progress checkpoint at the end of each unit. These benchmarks take less than 20 minutes and feedback is immediate (I use Google Forms).

After taking the benchmark exam, students immediately record their own personal data and analyze that data (see picture). They keep up with this data the entire year and use it to plan their personalized remediation plan at the end of the year.

As my students are measuring their individual data, I am collecting class data that is displayed on the “GOAL-DIGGERS” board in my classroom.

It’s a way for both my students and myself  to measure growth and execute a plan for remediation. It’s the most effective strategy that I have for preparing my students for state exams.

Do you give benchmarks? I’d love to hear your thoughts on progress checkpoints and how (or if) you use them in your classroom.

You’re tired! You’re overwhelmed! You’re w You’re tired!

You’re overwhelmed!

You’re weary!

The tasks are impossible.

If you are feeling this way, it’s very likely that your students share your burdens. Let’s remember... GRACE over GRADES...COMPASSION over CONTENT... PATIENCE over PEDAGOGY
Social distancing in the classroom doesn’t have Social distancing in the classroom doesn’t have to be boring! Create @starbucks vibes in your classroom☕️.

I do this for my students each year before the holidays and they always love it! I like to pick a day when students are working on something independently (like a worksheet or we quest).

When the students enter the classroom, I provide them with an order form and give them a few minutes to complete it. While the students work, I fill their orders.

Add Instrumental Christmas music 🎶 and a Frasier fir candle and you’ve got yourself a “Starbucks mode” classroom.
