Byrd12A Mar 14 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2: in 2nd,we switch for both reading and math groups. We have quite a bit of para push in support so we can have lots of groups. #HSD1chat

Jamiejoleen - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

jnelson0808 Mar 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@jannamcbride25 That's great! Our MBI team took charge of that. We interviewed SS to gather more information on certain ?'s.#hsd1chat

In reply to @jannamcbride25

youtheduteach - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: Walk to Read. Sometimes we do projects together. I've also pulled small groups (multi class) to work with a para. #hsd1chat

kylemcbride25 Mar 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: We share Ss for reading. I teach whole group and my partner does all small groups. we rotate classes for art and science too #HSD1Chat

MrsKimStout Mar 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: We have walk to read: but our team works together on lots of other things as well. #HSD1Chat

Jamiejoleen - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@youtheduteach @MrsKimStout love the idea of rotating for science and art! Maybe social studies? #HSD1chat

MrsKimStout Mar 14 @ 10:18 PM EDT

I'd be willing to give it a try! I'd love to do science though...I love making a mess #HSD1Chat

In reply to @Jamiejoleen, @youtheduteach

Interviewing the students is a great idea to dig deeper. We found some great info. but need more insight! #HSD1chat

In reply to @youtheduteach

jannamcbride25 Mar 14 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2- Most of our grade level teachers plan together, there is not a lot of grouping across classrooms though. #HSD1chat

Byrd12A Mar 14 @ 10:22 PM EDT

#HSD1chat - yes it is. Sometimes we have issues with how each group is run ( by paras) but it's nice to have smaller groups

In reply to @jannamcbride25

Byrd12A Mar 14 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A3- I have been following NGSS, and try to implement science regularly. Sometimes other projects ( writing, art, etc) make it hard #HSD1chat

kylemcbride25 Mar 14 @ 10:23 PM EDT

I teach Science and my partner does the art part #hsd1chat

In reply to @kylemcbride25

FinstadErin Mar 14 @ 10:23 PM EDT

A3: Fit it in anywhere I can. We bought a weather station and went to meet our local meteorologist. Tie into ELA when possible. #hsd1chat

jnelson0808 Mar 14 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A3: We do various units based on the standards,looking forward to summer PLC to implement w/Journeys #hsd1chat

youtheduteach - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A3: I'll admit I teach science but it's not always first grade standards. #hsd1chat

jnelson0808 Mar 14 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@Byrd12A I agree that it is hard to fit in! We do cursive and typing, which take up a lot of that "extra" time. #hsd1chat

In reply to @Byrd12A

youtheduteach - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3b: I'm looking forward to implementing more as I learn more through summer PD #HSD1Chat

erin_emaxwell Mar 14 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3: Incorporate standards in units of study. Usually for much older grades target 7th standards for 4/5 graders. #HSD1Chat

FinstadErin Mar 14 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3b: We also did snowschool, with 3 different science lessons. HHS students do demonstrations for our students. #hsd1chat

Jamiejoleen - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A3. #HSD1chat I admit, I am not great at this. I think we teach science more than we think we do-But isn't always standard driven.

Byrd12A Mar 14 @ 10:25 PM EDT

I like when it ties in with other subjects, but I am worried about the flow when we try to implement with journeys. At least in2nd #HSD1chat

jannamcbride25 Mar 14 @ 10:26 PM EDT

oh yes, that management piece can be tough. Do your paras attend PLC time with you? I would love for my sped paras to.. #HSD1chat

In reply to @Byrd12A

MrsKimStout Mar 14 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A3: I follow the NGSS some, and do as much as I can during the week. I love science so I'll skip other things to fit it in. #HSD1Chat

erin_emaxwell Mar 14 @ 10:27 PM EDT

paras attend PLC in our building #HSD1Chat

In reply to @jannamcbride25, @Byrd12A

Totally! Reading a book about "seeds" in Journeys this week. Now planting our own! #HSD1chat @MrsKimStout @youtheduteach

kylemcbride25 Mar 14 @ 10:28 PM EDT

A3- I am happy to get science in whenever we can and try to make it as interesting and fun as possible #hsd1chat

jannamcbride25 Mar 14 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A3- I don't get to teach science :( Boo! Occasionally I get to support my Ss with projects or assignmetns in science #HSD1chat

youtheduteach - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:29 PM EDT

Ss love science and social studies. ! #HSD1Chat t

In reply to @kylemcbride25

Byrd12A Mar 14 @ 10:29 PM EDT

@Jamiejoleen @MrsKimStout So Fun!! But then how nice would it be to have a whole unit tied around plants and seed dispersal #HSD1chat

In reply to @Jamiejoleen, @MrsKimStout

MrsKimStout Mar 14 @ 10:30 PM EDT

I planted my seeds today as well as did a SmartBoard lesson on plants! #HSD1Chat

In reply to @Jamiejoleen, @youtheduteach

jnelson0808 Mar 14 @ 10:30 PM EDT

I wonder if there will be enough time between nonfiction stories to allow for more extensive units? #hsd1chat

jannamcbride25 Mar 14 @ 10:31 PM EDT

most of our paras hours are out by then or they have playground/bus duties so they dont get to join PLC #HSD1chat

Yes, that is my concern too. It's hard to delve into a topic when the next reading story could be so different. #HSD1chat

youtheduteach - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A4: I've done a better job this year! We've talked a lot about civics and being good citizens #HSD1Chat

Byrd12A Mar 14 @ 10:33 PM EDT

Q4: area of weakness... mostly only teach if it ties in with reading or in a weekly reader. I chose science so something had to go #HSD1chat

jnelson0808 Mar 14 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A4: We do the same with social studies as we do science. We use our SS books a lot more than Science books. #hsd1chat

FinstadErin Mar 14 @ 10:34 PM EDT

A4: Fit it in as much as possible. Students love the S.S. textbook. Tie into journeys when we can. Reader's Theater books also #hsd1chat

jannamcbride25 Mar 14 @ 10:34 PM EDT

A4- I really don't get to work with Soc. Stud. much but I see lots of SS tied into our Journey's text, especially grades 3-5 #HSD1chat

MrsKimStout Mar 14 @ 10:35 PM EDT

A4: I admit I'm not great at this. I use the ELA as a springboard for many mini lessons. Scholastic News also helps me get it in. #HSD1Chat

Jamiejoleen - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:36 PM EDT

q4. #HSD1Chat I think it's taught more than it's recognized. Our class has wonderful conversations and the election really helped with SS

kylemcbride25 Mar 14 @ 10:37 PM EDT

A4: SOCIAL studies...isnt that what we learn on the playground? #HSD1chat

youtheduteach - Moderator Mar 14 @ 10:37 PM EDT

Byrd12A Mar 14 @ 10:40 PM EDT

A3- back to science. I also purchase science spin ( scholastic news) for my kids which is another easy way to teach science. #HSD1chat

jnelson0808 Mar 14 @ 10:40 PM EDT
