Computer Tips

My use of give-me-five is to do a give-me-five to remind people to publish their blog post on weebly so that they don't lose everything that they have worked on for their post.  When I do this give-me-five I want to make sure to do it when we have been working on the post for a while.  The reason that I don't want to do this too early is because if I do it like right at the beginning it would be useless because if they just started and don't even have anything on their post they won't listen to your give-me-five.  Then when they have worked on it for a while, they might forget to publish it then they might lose all their stuff.  That is why there a specific time that you should do this give-me-five.  You don't want to do it too early or too late.
This particular give-me-five is important to our classroom because if it wasn't done well one specific person could lose all their work on weebly and that would not be fun for that one person to have to redo.  Another thing that could happen, even worse, is that the whole class could lose all their work and that would be even worse to redo.  If this give-me-five wasn't done at all it would be kind of the same outcome of people losing their stuff on weebly.

    Uses of "Give Me Five" in our Classroom

    In our classroom, students have the power and authority to announce "Give me five" any time necessary during class. Of course, it comes with great responsibility and my students develop that responsibility throughout the year. Here are some examples of how "Give me five" was used this year by my students.

    Examples of "Give me five":
    • Ask the whole class a question after you've asked a few individuals
    • Give reminders of our Daily Goal (& old goals) when it's not in action
    • Reminders to clean the desktop of our computers before shutting down
    • To fix individual behavior issues so individuals don't feel embarrassed
    • To announce that you are presenting a Mini Lesson
    • To share important information that everyone will benefit from
    • To remind the class of hallway behavior
    • To fix something that we're not doing well (an in-class goal)
    • To help students get back on task
    • To help someone who is doing a "Give me five" but is not getting everyone's attention
    • To calm us down when we're hyper or off-topic
    • Announcements about our Rituals (i.e. "There are no more Respect videos left.")
    • Reminders to do our Collaborative Responsibilities (i.e. "Don't forget to move your magnet.")
    • To transition from one activity to another
    • To get everyone's attention when you are about to start your job (Recapper, Evaluator...)
    • To make quick announcements that will help others ("Whose pen is this?" "Permission slips due tomorrow.")
    • To give directions or reminders of directions ("Don't forget to tag your blog post!")
    • To give the class feedback (positive or corrective) ("We need to do much better in gym next time!")
    • To give computer tips ("Don't forget to save your blog post so you don't lose it!")
