My takeaways:

* Research more about the Design Thinking Process
* "If you don't learn to be alone, you will only learn to be lonely." by Sherry Turkle
* Computer labs should have laptops instead of desktops to allow for mobility
* Have students become an expert on one thing they love and teach it to the class
* Find free resources for teachers such as Hot Wheels
* Find opportunities for students to be involved in the community (Fire department painting)
* Check out Confer APP to help with note taking on the students
* "If you can Google it, why teach it?" by Alec Couros
* Tap into the participatory culture through remixing
* Loads of fake information on the internet (i.e. Wave charging in microwave, drilling a hole on new iPhone for earphone jack) How do you teach students to differentiate what's real and what's not?
* Have students design tweets from classroom using check in worksheets
* Kids updates parents what they are learning in school
* Incorporate more mindful opportunities in the classroom
  • Focusing on only one thing
  • Ability to recognize what you are triggered and knowing what to do about it to return to your self
  • Learning to give thoughtful responses
  • Use the "Just Breathe" video.
* Incorporate more identity projects
  • What makes you unique? What makes you part of a group?
  • Have students create personal mission statements (depict it in artwork)
  • Create identity wall with personal mission statements for each child
* Do more Self Directed Learning
  • Self directed is management of own time, choice in topic, source of information, opportunities for idleness, self assessment, and ability to abandon.
  • ​Give opportunities to learn what they want to learn
  • Passion Project (What would you be doing if you weren't at school?)
  • Create a makerspace
  • Learning to how to keep learning
* Investigate DIY.org

English/Japanese Science: Preparing for Plant Tasting Party

10/5/2015

0 Comments

 
Our plant unit is coming to an end. To conclude this unit, we are having a plant tasting party! Each student picked a plant part to bring to the class to share. 

To prepare for this event, each student needs to know what plant to bring and what part of the plant it is. 

Here's our list:

Flower
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Artichoke

Stem
Asparagus
Celery

Seed
Peas
Corn
Sunflower Seeds
Soy Beans

Leaves
Lettuce
Spinach
Cabbage

Fruit
Cucumber
Tomato
Peppers
Eggplant
Pumpkin

Roots
Carrot
Radish
Turnip

To help those students in the Japanese class, students drew a picture of their plant part and memorized the following phrases. 


これは (plant part we eat) です。
(plant part we eat)は はな/くき/たね/はっぱ/み/ねっこ です。

Surprisingly the students caught on and I think they are ready to tell me what it is and what plant part it is on Wednesday!

Global Read Aloud: Author Study - Chopsticks

10/5/2015

0 Comments

 
This year I decided to participate in Global Read Aloud. I'm connected with a classroom in Virginia. We decided to write each other snail mail to introduce ourselves. My students wrote a simple letter to introduce themselves. 

For the first week, we are reading Chopsticks by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. We discussed things we like to do alone vs things we like to do with someone. We shared it on this Padlet.

Japanese Class: Numbers

9/16/2015

0 Comments

 
Taught how to count in Japanese today.... 20 is said 2 10, 30 is 3 10, and I went all the way up as the kids got up to 9 10 for 90 when a kid blurted out 10 10 for 100. I totally laughed out loud but at least it shows she understands the pattern!

English/Japanese Science: Green Onion Hypothesis

9/15/2015

0 Comments

 
Students in both classes made their hypothesis on what would happen to the green onion after I cut the green part off.

Also, everyone in the Japanese class was finally able to name the plant part and what plants need in Japanese. I'm very proud of them all!
