What an exciting day! I was exhausted from connectEd and then had to stay up late to figure out what and how to bring a new "look to the class.
We sat on the grass in the sun(warm not Calgary) and I talked about the conference. I was interested in hearing why they were becoming disengaged. What a fantastic discussion - Just give them a voice and those 10 year olds show they know what is going on. Got a huge then had an awesome game of soccer. my team lost 2 - 0.
After break we moved onto the SMART board and chose "boredom" to look at closer. They decided they needed more hands on from me. I responded well "what are you going to give me?" They came up with respect (me and equipment, peers), responsibility for learning and staying on task....
In the pm Science class - project the respiratory system
-task-how do we breathe, and 6 words (trachea, alveoli...).
Goal make an animation on ipads (Animation HD) or use Showme and do voice over describing the breathing process. GO
45 minutes later 1/2 class is done to about 80% missed on putting in the alveoli. One of them is attached.
All I did was guide and conference and ask questions.
FRIGGING FANTASTIC
