Here's a quick look at some of the things I have planned for November. Some things have already begun, while some are still to come!

Words their Way

In our classroom, students have been pre-tested (using the Words their Way diagnostic assessment) and placed into groups based on their readiness. Students receive weekly, differentiated instruction in small groups in order to learn the spelling patterns, affixes, and definitions of each word in their weekly sort. After their small group instruction, all students play games on Spelling City in order to improve their spelling & vocabulary skills with those words. Finally, students take a post-test in spelling and vocabulary to see what they learned and what they didn't. If you're interested, check out the work they're doing on spellingcity.com!

Practicing our differentiated @WordsTheirWay words on @SpellingCity after spending a day working on the sorts, patterns & meanings and creating new words that fit the patterns. Engaging, Educational and Enjoyable!#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads #4thchat #5thchat #3rdchat pic.twitter.com/LHVd1YWfdK

History Alive

The kiddos continue to work through the 4th grade social studies curriculum - we currently are finishing up our unit on Native Americans before we begin learning about explorers in the next unit. I personally LOVE History Alive because each lesson contains content-area reading that is appropriate for students at this level, there is a FUN hands-on component to each lesson, and the assessments are quick and straight-forward, focusing on the Big Ideas, rather than minute details and unimportant facts. History Alive quizzes are entered onto our Classroom Calendar one week before they happen, and students are writing them in their Assignment Notebooks a few days prior to the quiz as well. Link: paulsolarz.weebly.com/calendar

Kiddos are enjoying reading one of the few TEXTBOOKS that are student-friendly, succinct & visually appealing: HISTORY ALIVE: America's Past! I've used it for 10 years & LOVE the activities w/in each lesson! Thanks @TeachTCI!#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads #4thchat #5thchat pic.twitter.com/p7Zq8cuvRW

Math in Focus

This month, students are finishing up a unit on Multiplication and Division of large numbers. We are doing traditional long multiplication and long division (if you'd like to help them at home). Students are allowed & encouraged (but not required) to bring home their math packet from each unit which contains a RETEACH, EXTRA PRACTICE, and ENRICHMENT section. This is what you can work on with your child at home if you are looking for opportunities to improve their math skills. I also strongly encourage practicing math facts with flash cards or any other method (especially multiplication and division facts). Finally, all students are now signed up for IXL (a letter was sent home with their sign-on information last week). Please encourage your child to work on the "Recommended" skills, the "Diagnostic" area, or the assigned skills from class (in RtI Time).

Starting to master TRADITIONAL MULTIPLICATION with the help of partners and practice! Kids are thankful to finally be able to work on problems rather than just listen to the teacher! It's been a long process!#LearnLAP #4thchat #5thchat #WGLeads @SingaporeMath #SingaporeMath pic.twitter.com/YWSFtKiHvY

IXL - Differentiated Instruction in Math and ELA

All students have now been signed up for IXL (a letter was sent home with their sign-on information last week). Please encourage your child to work on the "Recommended" skills, the "Diagnostic" area, or the assigned skills from class (in RtI Time). These are not assigned for homework, but the more they complete, the faster they will improve their skills in math and ELA. Students can also work on this during Homework Club before school and during Lunch Recess (see the weekly schedule for days that Homework Club needs to be cancelled due to meetings: paulsolarz.weebly.com/our-weekly-schedule).

Honing in on areas where each student needs extra practice/instruction in math & ELA on @IXLLearning! My kiddos believe that school is about effort & improvement so they're truly looking forward to working on their weak areas!#LearnLAP #WGLeads #d25ItsPersonal #4thchat #5thchat pic.twitter.com/0zqYOCIrLM

Thank you!

Thanks to everyone who contributed to our whole-school fund-raising effort! We exceeded our goal and the students earned a Silly String party as a Thank You! Lots of smiling faces!!!

We celebrated accomplishing our recent whole school fundraising goal by having a SILLY STRING PARTY outside! The kiddos went wild and had a great time making a mess and going crazy! Thanks for the help @OrangeRuler! :)#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads #4thchat #5thchat pic.twitter.com/EBoqOap61M

Reading

Students continue to choose books that they'd like to read, and spend some of our reading time reading aloud, having discussions, and completing tasks from class. Schoolwide Mini-Lessons are taught each day, highlighting comprehension strategies, story elements, and text features of non-fiction, fiction, and poetry. In addition, we have read two whole-class novels: Fish in a Tree and Wishtree (I see a pattern). The kids LOVED these books, so please ask them about them at home! Next week, students will get to virtually meet the author of Wishtree in a Skype session where some students will get to ask the author questions!

Getting stronger at book discussions! My 4th graders record all of their discussions on video while they read together, upload to YouTube & end up with 100's of pieces of evidence for meeting standards: https://t.co/kBOI5MqLK6 #LearnLAP #WGLeads #d25ItsPersonal #4thchat #5thchat pic.twitter.com/XXnP9nXUla

Science - Our Geosphere

We're just about to wrap up the first science unit of the school year on geology. Students have learned about rocks, erosion, weathering, deposition, mountain-building, volcanism, continental drift, and more! Some of it was quite complicated, but students are doing a nice job of trying their best to learn everything they can. Students are also participating in many hands-on activities and paying attention during demonstrations. Our next science unit will be on ENERGY and is a unit that I've taught before (hurray!), so I have tons of really fun activities planned including a HUGE Energy Debate! I haven't hyped it up with the kids yet, but they will soon be talking about it at home! :)

Learned about TECTONIC PLATES today by cracking a hard boiled egg (dramatically) to show the cracks in earth’s crust. Then created various MODELS of the earth’s crust with oranges! Lots of outside the box thinking! #LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads #4thchat #5thchat pic.twitter.com/bQ0mFNLau7

Science (Continued)

Had some fun with Coach K making flash flood rivers and watching how water meanders around obstacles, erodes land that is soft or brittle, and accumulates at the lowest point. I took suggestions from the students to improve our water tables and students were encouraged to use any materials they could think of. Got some great video of the demonstration and some nice pictures of our experience!

Creating FLASH FLOOD RIVERS in homemade water tables. The students proposed each material, their placement, and the procedure. Then we made changes and tried again! Studying EROSION & DEPOSITION.#learnlap #wgleads #d25itspersonal #4thchat #5thchat #scitlap #scichat pic.twitter.com/NTAnnJzeeX

Soap Science

As a 4th grade, we all participated in a three day investigation of the properties of Ivory Soap, including the sink or float test, radiation test, and gravity test. Although all the students were together in the Commons for these lessons, they were perfectly behaved and attentive! I think they enjoyed the activities and learned a lot about OBSERVATION skills and recording those observations in our science notebooks!

Day 3 of SOAP SCIENCE!

Explored the effects of microwave energy on Ivory Soap (SO COOL!) and dropped it from heights of 10 feet, 30 feet & “chucking it hard” from 30 feet! Mrs. Nelms & Mr. Walton really crushed it today! □#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads #4thchat #5thchat pic.twitter.com/KB2wynVrL3

Writing

Students are finishing up our second writing unit of the year on Narrative Writing. They are currently writing their final piece and getting regular feedback from me on it. Although the interface that we used was a bit clunky, students were flexible and willing to try out the new technology, allowing me to give valuable feedback to WritingCity. For the next writing unit, I will go back to the way I have been doing it for the past couple years using Google Docs and Google Classroom. This will make feedback a much smoother & immediate process. I will include a copy of their formal writing piece in the upcoming report card. Please know that some students missed some lessons due to absence or pullout, while others got a large amount of feedback from me, making their story more of a collaborative assignment!

Settling in to @WritingCityK5 to learn about PERSONAL NARRATIVE writing. Kids are teaching their neighbors outstanding mini-lessons that help clarify the skill that's being taught! So thankful for our student-led classroom & collaboration!#LearnLAP #WGLeads #4thchat #5thchat pic.twitter.com/eKpTbIeAyq

Reflecting on the First Trimester

A few weeks ago, the students completed a reflection of some of the skills we value in our classroom. They determined if they were doing well with each skill or if they needed to improve. Based on their self-assessments and my own observations, I will be writing some goals for each student that will go into this report card. Students will be asked to try their best to improve each of these skills, make a plan for doing so, and monitor their progress (citing evidence along the way). Please keep an eye out for these goals in the report card envelope, and help your child achieve these goals if you are able! Thanks!

Thanks Dr. Duffy, Mrs. Darby & Mrs. Zapatka for lending me your REFLECTION forms!

I modified them to work for our classroom & my kids did a fantastic job reflecting, self-assessing & setting goals!

Cardboard Challenge!

Boy, did the kids have fun planning out their cardboard creations, gathering their supplies, building their contraptions, and making improvements along the way! Lots of creativity, problem-solving, and compromising went on during this activity! Students were prepared that they would not be allowed to take their creations home, so we spent some time taking pictures and videos of our creations. These were all uploaded and can be viewed here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLc1S5r8u7b-kLU3QAa8jprCM-cPYnxvb

Boy did we have a fun time messing up the classroom today!!!

We took part in the 2018 Global #CardboardChallenge as a part of our @imagination Club! We designed & built robots, space stations, Bugatti’s, arcade games & more!#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads #5thchat #4thchat pic.twitter.com/RhFpJCeTCl

WIN Time (RtI Groups)

WIN Time (also known as RtI Time in our classroom) is well under way. Although the other classrooms are swapping kids, I've decided to keep everyone so we can be a little more flexible with time and in order to implement multiple groups for some students. All students have been assessed and a personalized education plan has been assigned to each student. Some will attend daily math re-teach/pre-teach while others will work independently on enrichment activities. Some will meet their needs through IXL online, while others will work with me at the center table. All students will receive small group instruction from me on Words their Way each week and students are always welcome to get additional support during Homework Club before school and during lunch recess. So far, I'm seeing a HUGE impact on students and look forward to watching everyone progress throughout the year!

RtI Groups started today! Time to meet the individual needs of my kiddos now that I know them better!

Each student got a schedule JUST FOR THEM & followed it according to directions! I met w/groups while others worked independently & w/others.#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads pic.twitter.com/72ZQZYPPok

Passion Time

During our RtI Time, students are all given 60 minutes per week to work on Passion Time projects. Passion Time is an opportunity for students to explore personal interests, lingering curiosities, and improve on individual strengths. There is a process for each round of Passion Time that requires the students to document their journey. All experiences will culminate with a video explaining their learning and showing off any products that were created. I encourage you to comment in the blog post that your child creates by giving them compliments (and feedback if you're interested). The goal will be to improve our executive function skills (planning, meeting deadlines, managing time, etc.), discover new interests, and solidify our research skills. Please provide your child with any support you can, but please remind them that Passion Time is lowest on the totem pole of educational responsibilities - If they are behind in any assignments, they need to do those first! Thanks! :)

We began PASSION TIME Round 1 today!

Students' "Essential Questions" have been approved, blog posts have been started, a new @Trello board has been created, @langwitches' KWHLAQ Chart has been explained, self-driven learning is imminent!#LearnLAP #WGLeads #d25ItsPersonal pic.twitter.com/r1RoYDZ6Pa

Global Perspectives

This past month, we learned about the 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals created by the United Nations. We learned about each goal, sorted cards based on our opinions of what is most important, and tweeted out our thoughts. We will be doing more with this throughout the year, but the students demonstrated tremendous amounts of empathy for those around the world who are struggling are experiencing some sort of inequality. This was a tough lesson and should be explored further at home if anyone is willing to do so!

The 3-day lesson plan can be viewed here: paulsolarz.weebly.com/short-term-projects/the-uns-sustainable-development-goals

Lesson 2 of #GlobalGoalsWeek was spent learning about the UN's 17 #GlobalGoals & EVALUATING which goals are most meaningful to each of us. Student Quote: "This is way too hard! They're ALL equally important!"

Content Area Reading

I try hard to integrate subjects in order to get the most out of the time we have together! One way I do this is by incorporating lots of science and social studies reading and writing into the curriculum. Because non-fiction is different from fiction, students sometimes struggle to pull meaning from the text. By practicing with partners and the teacher, students improve their skills and transfer their learning to new situations. Please encourage your child to do non-fiction reading at home whenever possible. There are so many great topics that kids would enjoy reading about!

CONTENT AREA READING in Science!

Learning about wind & water erosion and deposition in preparation for our water table experiment on Thursday! The kids are trying their best to read for meaning and focus on main ideas!#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads #4thchat #5thchat pic.twitter.com/cuCEScGtrw

If you are reading this in an email - please click on the title of this blog to see all of its content!

Here's a quick look at some of the things I have planned for October. Some things have already begun, while some are still to come!

History Alive - Lessons 2 & 3 - Native Americans

(1) We walked around the school, only to return to the classroom where we explored a "new land." We settled in comfortable, but not familiar spots.
(2) Identified why we chose our homes.
(3) Decided how to make home more comfortable.
(4) Why can today's geologists find fossilized ocean life underground in Kansas?
(5) What did the Americas look like during prehistoric times? How is it different from today?
(6) Explored maps to find the answer.
(7) Were Native Americans "native" to the Americas or did they migrate from somewhere else? Provide evidence to support your answer.
(8) Where did they migrate from? Where did they end up?
(9) Used maps to find the answer.
(10) What were some of the names of the tribes that settled throughout the Americas?
(11) Which ones settled in the Arctic? Which ones settled in Central America?
(12) Used maps to find the answer.
(13) READ ALOUD: "The Discovery of the Americas" by Betsy & Giulio Maestro.
(14) Some scientists believe that approx. 12,000 years ago, nomads followed mammoths across the temporary land bridge between Asia & North America...

NATIVE AMERICANS - Day 1

(1) What were some of the names of the tribes that settled throughout the Americas?
(2) Which ones settled in the Arctic? Which ones settled in Central America?

Science: The Scientific Method

Students will be learning how to conduct a fair test by keeping all of the variables the same, other than one that is being changed. They will make hypotheses, collect data, and draw conclusions from the data in an educated way.

In the past, we've done this through a Science Fair that was completely conducted in school, but this year we will be using our Science Companion curriculum and several "Science Investigations" that I've created for the kids to have fun with!

Be sure to ask your child how things are going in science class this year! Hopefully, they're enjoying it!

Learned how to CONDUCT A FAIR TEST in science today: independent, dependent & constant variables, planning out the steps of our investigation, how to identify needed materials & recording data in responsible ways!

#SkyDayProject

People all around the world are taking part in SkyDayProject to show they care about our sky and want us to come together to protect it for the benefit of all. We spent a few minutes taking pictures of the clouds in our sky and uploading them to the Sky Day Project Database through Twitter! Check out the collage of pictures here: skydayproject.org/

The purpose of the #SkyDayProject is to partner with artists and scientists interested in promoting greater understanding of our sky. From the surface of the earth to the edge of space - How does our sky function? What are its vulnerabilities? Why should people care? And what are the implications for our definition of community?

Why do scientists study clouds? Clouds are very important to Earth’s water cycle, and its weather and climate system! Scientists study clouds to better understand these systems. Many scientists use space-based instruments called satellites to monitor clouds.

Enjoyed observing our BEAUTIFUL SKY for the 2018 #SkyDayProject! Kids are tweeting their sky pictures right now and they captured some AMAZING shots!

Kids are helping each other with hashtags, spelling, and following directions! Woohoo!#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads pic.twitter.com/WpKdIcFfPU

Math in Focus - Ch. 2

This chapter helps students build their multiplication skills through factors, prime/composite numbers, etc.

For parents who would like their child to have some homework, I highly recommend helping your child become fluent with their math facts (adding, subtracting, multiplying & dividing single digit numbers). This is the most important math skill students can work on at home!

If you'd like your child to bring home extra practice, ask them to bring home their "math packet" each night (and then make sure they bring it back the next day as we use it each day in class). In this packet are three sections: "Reteach" for skills they are struggling with, "Extra Practice" for skills they get but want to work some more with, and "Enrichment" for when students understand everything extremely well and want a challenge. I provide ALL of the supplemental materials that the district has provided us in these packets.

Hopefully, your child brought you our first test, along with the Standards-Based Grading cover sheet. Any questions, just ask! :)

Learning about PRIME & COMPOSITE NUMBERS in math!

Tried out my first #SilentLesson of the year - asked the kids to come up with a definition of each word as I wrote on the board. Took us a little longer than expected, but got it eventually!#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads pic.twitter.com/NmRYSf3Yry

WritingCity - Narrative Writing

Students are using a "Flipped Instruction" model for writing, where they watch an instructional video from an expert writing teacher each lesson in class. Then, they are given a writing assignment using the skill taught in the lesson. Sometimes, they are asked to write something specific. Other times, they are given time to Free Write, while accomplishing the goals of the lesson.

Each lesson, students alternate who sits at the center table with me providing one-on-one feedback, allowing me to work with students every other writing period.

At the moment, we are reviewing capitalization, end punctuation, sentence structure, and story development. Narrative writing is our current focus. If your child has trouble brainstorming topics to write about during Free Writing, please help them at home by coming up with a short list of topics they can begin right away in class. Thanks!

Learning WRITING from our favorite virtual teacher: @joannavrteaches! Thanks @WritingCityK5 for such an outstanding program!

In three periods, we've already learned the importance of focusing on a moment, elaborating on an idea & the 6 Traits!#LearnLAP #WGLeads #d25ItsPersonal pic.twitter.com/x7Q8jfe7fW

Tweeting the Author of "Fish in a Tree" - Lynda Mullaly Hunt

We finished her book and wanted to say a few words to her! We'll do more of this with the books the kids choose throughout the year! It can be really exciting when an author replies back! :)

Dear @LynMullalyHunt:
I liked your book so much that I think you should make a sequel called "Nickerson's Restoration." A book where Ally & Travis open up their own restoration shop when she graduates high school!

Continuing "Our Geosphere"

Lots of hands-on activities where students make meaning of complicated scientific concepts!

From Science Companion: Although landscapes on Earth are constantly changing, students may not notice those changes because they happen so slowly. Students begin the Our Geosphere topic by focusing on the changing landscapes in their school environment. They explain that water, wind, ice, and gravity are forces that shape landscapes. Throughout the remaining lessons, they explore how weathering, abrasion, erosion, and deposition can shape the landscape. They focus on the crosscutting concept of Cause and Effect as they explain what happens to rocks over time when they abrade each other as well as what happens when glaciers move over landscapes. They also plan and conduct investigations to model the effects of erosion by either water or wind. They control variables, collect data over multiple trials, and compare data that provides evidence to explain the phenomena they observe.

We discovered that "Glacial striations are scratches/gouges cut into bedrock by glacial abrasion." Sounds complicated, huh!?

Not when you use frozen blocks of ice w/rocks, sand & dirt in them to carve Play-Doh on video! Thx #ScienceCompanion!#LearnLAP #d25ItsPersonal #WGLeads pic.twitter.com/sSXn6qdUu8

Imagination Club & Cardboard Challenge!

Imagine the World We Can Build
We imagine a world where creativity and entrepreneurship are core social values nurtured in schools, homes and communities everywhere; where all
children are taught to be creative thinkers and doers, and encouraged to make their very best ideas happen.

Our class is one of the original Imagination Chapters of the Imagination Foundation. Thanks to this partnership, we receive awesome free gifts that students get to use while being creative, and I spend time sharing our process with others around the world!

This year, we received a large cache of Legos, and in past years have received tools and equipment for our Cardboard Challenge on 10/4/18 and tech equipment like Ozobots, Little Bits, Spark Fun, etc.

If you have any extra cardboard at home that you wouldn't mind donating to our class in the coming days (before 10/4) please send it in with your child! We'll use it to build amazing creations on Cardboard Challenge Day! Thanks in advance!

Look what we received in the mail today!
