What the Teacher Wants!: F...l....u....e.....n.....c.....y
As I was finishing up my report cards a few weeks ago. I noticed that MANY of my students were FAILING not meeting the standards in fluency. I always talk about fluency, but I've never really stressed it. My teammates also had the same problem. I've also started using Jodi's Fluency packs. Then, as one of my Daily 5 mini-lessons, I did a fluency lesson. I made these posters to help them remember. With each poster there is also an action:Rate- Not too fast and not too slow {they pretend to run slow and run fast- with their arms}Expression- Don't sound like a robot {they do the robot dance- channel your inner 80's dance moves}Accuracy-Read the words right {they do a check mark in the air with their pointer finger}Punctuation- Read the punctuation marks {they make an exclamation point in the air} Then, once a week, after I do a running record on a student, I quickly have them fill out this self-assessment. Any other fluency tips for my 1st graders? Related:  Duktig lärare med praktiska ideér

Skolstartslektion och frågor om sommaren Jag skulle starta en skolvecka med frågor. Varje lektion skulle jag ge en sommarlovsfråga: Berätta om ett möte med en insekt?Berätta om en glass du ätit?Berätta om en regnig dag? Jag skulle låta eleverna få byta samtalspartner och diskutera frågan under en minut. När eleverna har fått prata kan man be varje elev berätta något som klasskamraten berättade. – Är det något som ska tilläggas? Jag har genomfört de här lektionerna, eller lektionsstarterna, och det blir livlig och roligt i klassrummet. Idioms Idioms are expressions that would have different meanings if you took the words apart. The individual words in the idiom don’t usually help you make sense of it; you just have to know what it means. It would be helpful to do some online practice to gain a better understanding of idioms. In the dark- The actual meaning for this would be that there is no light were you are, but the meaning of the idiom is that you don’t know what’s really going on. Inside joke- These words don’t make much sense together, but the meaning of this idiom is that it is a joke that only certain people will understand; maybe those inside the circle of friends. Idioms are fun to read, but they’re even more fun to use in your writing. Here are a few more you can use: catch you later, say the word, hit the roof, a piece of cake.

reading-fluency Fluency instruction Fluency is the ability to read a text accurately and quickly. When fluent readers read silently, they recognize words automatically. They group words quickly to help them gain meaning from what they read. Fluent readers read aloud effortlessly and with expression. Fluency is important because it provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. More fluent readers focus their attention on making connections among the ideas in a text and between these ideas and their background knowledge. Less fluent readers must focus their attention primarily on decoding individual words. Fluency develops gradually over considerable time and through substantial practice. Even when students recognize many words automatically, their oral reading still may be expressionless, not fluent. Brown/ bear brown/ bear what/ do/ you see. A fluent reader will read the same line as: Brown bear/ Brown bear/ What do you see? What does scientifically-based research tell us about Summing up

Att skriva ett bra svar. | Hanna Fjeld Jag har precis kört igenom en typ av lektionspass som jag verkligen gillar. Inte för att det är det mest lustfyllda vi gör kanske, utan för att jag alltid går från de lektionerna med känslan att eleverna verkligen har lärt sig något. Vilket ju alltid känns tillfredsställande. Jag brukar vika någon eller några lektioner under varje läspass till att prata om kvalitet i elevsvar. Den här gången gjorde vi så här: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Läs igenom frågan noggrant så att du verkligen svarar på rätt sak.Ta det lugnt så att du hinner tänka till. De är kloka mina 7:or! Nu ska jag lägga någon lektion till på att läsa och svara på frågor innan vi avslutar den delen av läsandet, sen går vi vidare mot en skrivuppgift. /Hanna

Welcome! Nya undervisningsgrepp | Fröken Evas skola Det riktigt studsar och spritter i hjärnan när jag pysslar med mina ”nya undervisningsgrepp”! Ni undrar säkert vad det kan vara för något nytt grepp? Jaa, nytt och nytt? Vad är nytt under solen 2015? Inget revolutionerande, utan sådant som man tänker att: ”det där ska jag pröva!” Så här ska det gå till: Med hjälp av dessa begreppskort, som utgår från de aktuella begrepp som eleverna har stött på i det aktuella arbetsområdet (i vårt fall Geografi – Europa, gränser, naturtyper, erosion t ex), ska eleverna fundera, plocka ett antal kort och sedan lägga dessa i en kedja. Vinster: Jag får in: eget tankearbete, tänka tillsammans, samarbeta (Think-Pair-Share), förklara för både sig själv, sin grupp och för klassen (och för mig!) Jag lovar att jag ska dokumentera och visa hur det gick! Det här kan ni göra i NO, vilket område som helst!
