File Sharing



I finally figured a way to store and share files on this blog (I think).

Click here if you are interested in downloading a copy of the grading checklist.

Click here if you are interested in downloading a copy of the notebooking starter pages.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this works :)

Joan - I just came across that site today. It is called Google Sites and it is a free website/wiki creator from google. I put a mini version together to share files here but I see so much potential for personal and school use.

If you cut and paste this website into your tool bar you can watch a short video. http://www.google.com/sites/help/intl/en/overview.html

Below the video you can see a classroom sample.

I haven't done much playing around, other then to start sharing files, but plan to soon.

Thanks for sharing. There's another site that's free called Media Fire to upload documents. I found my school's firewall wouldn't let me access it.

By the way, the last page in your starter pages file, says science contact. I assumed you meant contract.

It was meant to read science contact page. I usually have my parents fill out sometime the late part of the first week of school. I glue it to the inside cover of the students notebook so I have contact information immediately if I need to get a hold of a parent. I rarely used it last year and really should have weeded it out this year...but didn't. Chalk it up to being overly distracted with the start of the school year just around the corner (Monday for us).

This is really cool that you are there helping out other teachers. Just so you know I voted for you teacher website. Right now I am obsessed with animoto, but I think I will try out this file sharing program.

Secret Messages - How To (Light and Color)

This was fun activity that I got from Roper Mountain Science Institute. They suggested red theater gel to reveal the message, which can get pricy. Another idea I heard was to ask movie theaters to donate left over 3D glasses, which also have a red filter. A guest speaker we had last year said red jello would work. Tried it this week and it worked like a charm. The students thought it was very cool. I found my "attention challenged" students had trouble focusing on making their own secret messages so I was very glad that I had made extra copies of the sheets from the GEMS Color Analyzer book that they could color and then check under the jello.

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.

QR Project - Open House

Twitter Post Link -  https://bit.ly/3Umic7r I saw this adorable QR code project on Twitter and decided to try it out with a couple of third grade classes. We have several schools in our district who are "Leader in Me" schools and I asked a teacher if I could come in and make them for her open house (you don't need to be a "Leader in Me" school but I know they do a lot of goal setting and mission statements). She loved the idea! I decided to use Flip (formally Flipgrid) to do the recording. The web based program is free for educators and automatically generates the needed QR code. We started on a Thursday. I pulled students into the hall to get a picture of them holding a square piece of paper prior to an ELA block. The paper acted as a place holder for the QR code (which is square) and ensured I got the correct hand spacing so the students looked like they were holding the QR code. I found a spot that didn't have anything in the background. The background...
