Team Teaching November 27th

Again so many ideas!!!

Liz and Diedre's lesson was very amusing. We all acted like students who would secretly eat our M&M's while doing our tasks. Slowly our piles grew smaller and smaller. But it was the using of colors and graphs that would help students become aware of learning. The use of a book was amazing. Who would have thought you could read a book about Math?? Reading books to me seems limited to Language Arts. But With all the books out there and the many topics, books should be used in all areas of the curriculum. This lesson was very enjoyable as well as tasty.

The lessons on pattern with Danielle and Elaine and Christa and Megan were great too. The use of simple manipulatives was great because it helps the kids visualize and work with their hands to solve the problems. It helps them construct their own knowledge. All these lessons were designed to be used in the classrooms with real students (though we tried our best to act like primary elementary students lol). I know when I go to my classroom i will think back to these days and try them.
