I can't recall the number of times I have read Matilda, or decide which is my favorite book. Right now I am reading The Witches to the class and am reminded of the time I had to give a monologue in high school. I chose one of The Grand High Witch's speeches and it was a hit not only with the teacher but the other students too.<br />
<br />
Today Roald Dahl would have turned 100 years old. We kicked off the celebration yesterday in the library listening to a passage from The Twits and checked out his books. Thank you to Mrs. Feller for getting the week started right. Today we watched some segments from past celebrations and did some project to go with the videos. See the links below:<br />

After watching a clip about how they make sound effects for audio books, students got together and used items around the classroom to add sound effects to a made up sentence that would be found in a Dahl book.<br />

Of course we also ate candy and read from The Witches. Then we drew Willy Wonka with Quentin Blake and created a new sweet for the chocolate factory.<br />

We will continue to celebrate this week watching some clips from the 100th anniversary video and so some more activities this week. It is not everyday that an author comes along who changes children's literature in such a huge way. I am happy to spend time with my kids honoring such a great author!<br />

Have I mentioned yet how much I love our library? It is not only filled with amazing, magnificent books, but it is inviting, whimsical and warm. There are stuffed animals to read with, quiet spaces to sit in, fun chairs to discover and a life size pirate ship. Yes you heard me correctly, a life size pirate ship.<br />
<br />
The library has consistently been one of my favorite spaces in a school, ever since I was younger and the library at AAS is no different. I love being there with my kids and feel just as excited as they do. I'm happy to have such a wonderful space in our school.<br />

I have been intending to take the online course from her at Stanford for a while now, but with the summer slipping by, I decided the next best thing was to take the online course for students. After diving right into it, I realized that it would be a wonderful launching off point for math instruction in my classroom.<br />
<br />
The first day, when it was time for math, I handed out some crisp, new math notebooks for them to decorate. Then I set the stage by asking who has ever thought of going to college. They told me of some well known colleges and universities around the world and we had a discussion.<br />
<br />
Then came the shocking part. I told them we were going to do something that was so special, not many elementary students have ever done it, especially in 5th grade. We were going to start a college course on day one and it was going to be from Stanford! The kids were shocked, to say the least!<br />

The second morning of school, during our daily meeting, I asked if students had any questions about the first day or what was to come. One girl raised her hand and asked for the link to the course. I then asked how many students went home to tell their parents about the course. More than half of the students had! I was so happy to see students taking "action" on the very first day which is one of the components of the PYP.<br />
<br />
The <a href="https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/Education/EDUC115-S/Spring2014/about">course is linked here.</a> As we progress, I will be posting activities and photos that show the work we are doing in conjunction with the coursework. The kids are so excited to learn about the brain, mathematical thinking and how anyone can "be a math person!" It is a great way to start the year and I encourage you to start the year the same way!Rorey Risdonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01465824780038877357noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7820953842525071028.post-7729686861476627302016-06-10T04:10:00.000-07:002016-06-10T04:10:03.237-07:00Exhibition PhotosOh boy is the end of year busy for everyone, but with the three huge events for ISL grade 5 in the past month, I have barely had time to come up for air. Today the students are up in middle school for their shadow day so I have some time to breathe, catch up and give attention to some things that have been recently neglected, i.e., the blog.<br />
<br />
Exhibition has come and gone and seems so far away, but in reality, it was just only a month ago. I could not have asked for anything more from the kids and they were wonderful, not only on Exhibition day, but all of the 8 weeks working and preparing for the event.<br />
<br />
This year our topics were impressive and I was so proud of the depth in which they dove into their topics. The topics covered breast cancer, video game addiction, consumerism, endangered animals, brain health, food waste, sexism and homelessness. Here are some photos from the big day!<br />

We followed the following steps with much success!<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Created notecards with facts on them as a group</li>
<li>Sorted the notecards into categories</li>
<li>Wrote titles for the categories and determined if more research was needed</li>
<li>Did more research</li>
<li>Sorted the categories into sub-categories</li>
<li>Learned how to write an outline and created outlines for our research</li>
<li>Examined the POI and discussed the elements of a "good" central idea</li>
<li>Looked over lines of inquiry for Units of Inquiry throughout the school</li>
<li>Drafted, reflected and revised central ideas as a group</li>
<li>Used the central idea checklist to evaluate our central ideas</li>
<li>Looked at the key concept questions linked to our research and started to draft lines of inquiry</li>
</ul>
<div>
I am so proud of all of the hard work the kids are doing. Their knowledge and hard work on the PYP elements has been wonderful!</div>

Today we are going to do a flipped classroom lesson. I was reintroduced to it during my CEESA conference and thought it would be a great way for us to get through our new math unit while continuing to spend lots of class time working on exhibition.<br />
<br />
How it works is that you have a video to watch and some reading to do for homework before the lesson. This will help prepare you for the lesson. Then, the following day, you ask questions for what you don't understand and then complete the work.<br />

<br />
<ul><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu13zKNodczJILmL-RAE2JZ06bPXyvyMdw0Vyeq-4b-lfu5fKx3-YocicjEC3fKJUWKaMJupImYRXu3e5u9gMbzVl2OEtmAB_ZujJs1TkEPetnHEL9XmhhxWtYGOlq5Ek3yog_CrrXXyzH/s1600/checklistpanda.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="183" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu13zKNodczJILmL-RAE2JZ06bPXyvyMdw0Vyeq-4b-lfu5fKx3-YocicjEC3fKJUWKaMJupImYRXu3e5u9gMbzVl2OEtmAB_ZujJs1TkEPetnHEL9XmhhxWtYGOlq5Ek3yog_CrrXXyzH/s200/checklistpanda.png" width="200" /></a>
<li>Talk to your administrator about the idea. State the purpose and how it is going to benefit the students through the process of exhibition.</li>
<li>Start introducing the idea to parents and the teaching staff. Include a conversation with mentors to get them on board and excited about it.</li>
<li>Set a date. We had the students stay over night on Thursday so the retreat was for two full days. While it was exhausting for teachers since we were with the students the entire time without prep time, it allowed lots of time for lessons and fun. </li>
<li>Create a blank schedule off timetable and share it with your mentors and specialist teachers. Ask them to donate their time and teach a lesson with the students at some point during those two days.</li>
<li>At the top of the schedule, offer some suggestions for staff members who want to participate, but are not confident about their ideas. </li>
<li>Enlist the room parent to help organize the food. I asked families to send in snacks and drinks for the two days and to provide breakfast. We had more than enough food and the parents were eager to help. </li>
<li>Talk to families. I did this during the exhibition morning for parents and students. In hindsight, I would talk to families way before this since it was a bit of a time crunch.</li>
<li>Make a packing list. In addition to the normal sleep over items, students brought yoga mats to sleep on and fun items such as a torch, game to play, stuffed animal and scary story.</li>
<li>Afterwards, have students write thank-you letters to everyone who participated, including the staff, chaperones and parents.</li>
</ul>

While collaborating with teachers and administrators from the region, I got this wild idea to organize a grade 5 exhibition retreat for the students. The goal would be to get them excited about the journey and process ahead of us and have experts come in to teach on various topics.<br />
<br />
I went to my administrator and shared this idea with him. He was game for giving it a try, including the overnight sleep over. It was a lot of organizing and working with parents and staff to pull it off, but it was a huge success. A parent called me a risk-taker and I love it when I can live and model the PYP learner profile for my students. If you have an idea, give it a try and work to accomplish it!<br />

Student Myth Plays</h2>
<div>
During our writing lessons in this Unit of Inquiry about Ancient Civilizations, the students spent their time creating and writing their own myths. Many opted to write their assignments in the form of a play. We then invited the parents to come watch the students present their very own myth plays. Here are some photos!</div>

Now that we have returned to school it is time to get into the details of scientific notation, including the reasons we use it, connections we can make and patterns we notice. The work we did today in class with Tim and Moby on this new topic was great and we are off to a good start. Here are some more videos to support our learning.<br />

The trick is we can only add fractions with like denominators. How do you do that? Make equivalent fractions so that both denominators are the same. <a href="http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/common-denominator.html">Here is a website</a> to help explain how to find a common denominator and below are some videos to help too.<br />

Once you know how to find like denominators, practice with these games!</div>

Here are videos to go along with our learning from last week. Watch the first video first about what makes a civilization and then watch any of the following about ancient Egypt.<br />

Students had to learn about their religion and come up with a project to teach about it. They wrote lesson plans, practiced their teaching and showed their knowledge. It was wonderful to see them so enthusiastic and excited. As I was walking around participating, it was amazing to hear all of the parents share that they learned so much. Thank you students and families for such a successful event!<br />

Around it, blue dolphins swim, otters play, and sea elephants and sea birds abound. Once, Indians also lived on the island. And when they left and sailed to the east, one young girl was left behind. — This is the story of Karana, the Indian girl who lived alone for years on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Year after year, she watched one season pass into another and waited for a ship to take her away. But while she waited, she kept herself alive by building shelter, making weapons, finding food, and fighting her enemies, the wild dogs. It is not only an unusual adventure of survival, but also a tale of natural beauty and personal discovery.</span></div>

She chooses the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Knowing her younger brother Jamie has money and thus can help her with a serious cash-flow problem, she invites him along.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />Once settled into the museum, Claudia and Jamie find themselves caught up in the mystery of an angel statue that the museum purchased at auction for a bargain price of $225. The statue is possibly an early work of the Renaissance master, Michelangelo, and therefore worth millions. Is it? Or isn’t it?<br />Claudia is determined to find out. Her quest leads her to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the remarkable old woman who sold the statue, and to some equally remarkable discoveries about herself.</span><br />

Stem and Leaf plots are helpful and new for us in grade 5. It is one way to show data in a graphical format. It helps show distribution of the data and helps to visually show any outliers. We have already created circle graphs, bar graphs, and analyzed data to find the minimum, maximum, mean, mode, median and range. This new way to organize data will help you to visually see the data you have organized in a different way.<br />
<h3>

<div>
<ol>
<li>Watch video 1 as a class. Pause during the second example and work with a partner to create a Stem and Leaf Plot in your math notebook for the data he gives you. Compare as a class. Now you can complete steps 2-4 on your own using your computer. </li>
<li>Write down the steps to create a Stem and Leaf Plot in your notebook.</li>
<li>Watch the second video if you still need more clarity.</li>
<li>Go to the link at the bottom and read it. Take any notes you think you need in your math notebook. Complete the questions at the bottom of the page in your math notebook.</li>
