University of South Carolina - Beaufort Campus

For any South Carolinians....the University of South Carolina, Beaufort campus (USCB) is holding a local teacher share fair this weekend (January 24, 2009) in the Hargray Building from 9:30 - 11:00 a.m. I will be presenting my notebooks and several other teachers from around the county will be presenting ideas from their classroom. Anyone in the area is welcome to attend.

This is the first of its kind and I think it will be a learning experience for the University and the teachers attending. I am hoping that there is a good response and the University considers more of these share fairs in the future.

Hi Eve,
I attended the USCB Instructional Share Fair and it was WONDERFUL! You were WONDERFUL! Thank you for sharing your science notebooks with us. You have so much to be proud of... I am looking into Dinah Zike's foldables and can't wait to share this with my team back at Hilton Head IB Elementary!

Again, thank you!

Lori -

Thank you for taking the time to post a response from yesterday's Share Fair. This was the first time that I have shown the notebooks so I was a little nervous. I am so happy they were so well received. I can not recommend the Dinah Zike's foldable books enough - I have about eight of her books! If you have any questions, please send me an email and I will be happy to answer if I can.

Digital Citizen Cards

This project idea came from a monthly challenge put out by Adobe Express. We have the free EDU version deployed in our district and I thought this might be fun to try with a class. I liked that there was a prize element where the students could win a classroom set of hero cards  and it tied in with Digital Citizenship Week (October 17-21).  I teamed up with an elementary technology lab teacher and we decided to try it with one fifth grade class.  We looked over the available templates and decided we liked the layout of the 6-8 template the best (because they had to list advice for staying safe online).  One of the best things about these Adobe monthly challenge templates is that they can be modified. The revised template can then be sent to students via a link or through Google Classroom.  All the templates for this challenge Adobe gives you a sample template with sample wording but we wanted students to come up with their own wording. Neither one of us was ke...

Random Idea - Website Domain Name

For the past two years I have purchased a yearly subscription to a stand alone website (School World) which I love. I did this because our district was using a very nonuser friendly website for its teachers and I was tired of not being able to do what I want with the website they had given me. I got the idea of a separate website from one of my son's teachers who had done the same thing years ago, she used a different teacher website then School World but it was the same principle. The yearly subscription rate for my own website was $35 and was extremely reasonable. I simply provided a link on my district website to my new site. The district did not have a problem with this. Several teachers were doing it. I am one of these "don't ask...don't tell" teachers so even if there was a problem I wasn't going to find out about it :) Last year the rest of the fourth grade team purchased subscriptions to the site as well. We also purchased our own domain names throug...

Picture of the Day - Activity

I attended a training class and a science coach shared an activity that he does with his students to help them differentiate between observations, inferences, and predictions. He puts a picture on the interactive white board as a warm up (he gets the pictures from a variety of sources but uses National Geographic's Picture of the Day a lot). The picture above is from the National Geographic site. He has the students make five observations. Then he makes the students make five inferences. Finally he has the students make five predictions. He does this every day and it really drives home the difference between those three key inquiry vocabulary terms. I've done this activity with both my sixth and fourth grade science classes and the students really got into it and became proficient at telling me the difference between those terms.
